Well, after some delays per parts, modification than miscommunication in shipment, the mill will be in tomorrow. In preparation, I have made bench for it (I might make cross bracer if there is enough movement to warrant it).
Sort of going to keep this as "noob"'s work log on this machine
Design of bench top is directly from Lou (thank you so much for the advices!!!)

Bench is made with 4x4 and 2 layers of 3/4 panels. In retrospect, I could have gone 3 layers with mid as MDF to give it some more mass I suppose... but it's already done and I am bit too tired to do more... for now...
Seems pretty sturdy with my wife jumping on top of it for test.
First time I've used this fiberglass stuff so there was some improvement I could have made (such as stretching the fabric really tight so I don't have as much bump and sanding to do), but I am quite happy with the end result
I don't think I will paint it as I am not sure how coolant and some paints go together and going to play it safe for now. It's hard to see but the edges are grooved in to let plexiglass go right in and I plan to just put seal string there to hold it and waterproof it. Maybe some u channels of rubber molding on corners so I can easily take one out if I need to work on odd position of machine)...
I will update pic as more progresses...
PS) I had moment to talk to Richard of Syil America and it was pleasure chatting with him on MSN. I will give them a call once it is my time to setup the machine for some assitance
