Dennis,
The million dollar question - why no castings? Dave proved they are easy to make and fairly cheap! If strength is a factor for wanting steel plate, the ZA-12 or other alloy can be used to make the castings stronger. If rigidity is a factor then more engineering into design. if your health is limiting your ability to make castings then maybe someone close by would be willing to help? Depending on the machine I can see problems with bolt together design, to each his own!
The Multimachine group has been doing some good work in machine building.
Good Luck Wonk

I would prefer without any welding as well. If anyone knows the name of such a builder, I have found the name of posters work in the search fields also.
