Instructor said i could use the class/school's materials for machining practice so long as i made a blueprint for the project. I present, Rediculous Backing Plate - a story about over doing it.

1.5" x 5" 6061.

Planning on adding two legs to tie the backer plate to the lower frame but having a hard time limiting scope. My mind is like, "needs bracing, well just remake the grantry, but then id need a new frame since it's a noodle glued to a hammer, and if i have a 200lb frame, I'll need a new spindle, oh look- an entire diy CNC- mine as well buy a lemontart. Ouch, thaose tarrifs snd my budget, I'll just do some bracing but make it bigger." Recursively iterates over that thought process for weeks.
