Hi Craig

This clearly shows how it is built! I honestly admire the simplicity of your designs! I will also try a similar approach for my machine and do a FEA and see.

Did you rely on the plasma cut when getting column portion right angled to the base portion?

Why can't you bolt the L plates to 20mm plates? This way you can avoid stress reliving.

Thanks
