Its looking good Jeff. I've used a similar design for my gantry. I took a tip from Jazz-CNC that its easier to assemble & align it if you use 2 separate plates bolted together (see picture) - if you oversize the bolt holes it also gives you some room for adjustment / squaring. The whole gantry can lift then off and you leave the long axis ballscrew mount & linear bearings in place on the bottom plate.
That is a fantastic idea. Thank you, I'm definitely going to implement this.
