The "look" was inspired by convenience, IMHO.
Material/assets at hand.
Kinda like building a race bike, form follows function.
BTW, I was getting ALOT of motor noise, you could hear the motor running.
Peter and I realized that the motor was contacting the plinth. I didn't give the motor cavity enough z offset and the rubbermounting was not enough to decouple the motor.
The plinth was .300" at the mounting area and the cast original plinth was closer to .200".
Sill planning on further field trials this weekend at Peters, Saturday.
TT assembled with base is close to 80 lb's.
Jim Sweeny does beautiful woodwork.
And NO, Edwin, a copper plate is not and option, except if I wanted to copper plate...
Grainger has the material required for the plinth at over $350 per.

I don't require that level of symmetry with my gear.
