I've got some plywood and two metal plates to build a mounting plate for the gearbox and motor. In case my knowledge of the word is not correct: I mean under plywood that kind which is glued together of wooden sheets with their directions being perpendicular. I'll have 20mm of that. As far as I know that is the strongest wood-pane you can get.)
this 20mm of wood is between 2 steel plates being 2mm each.
I drilled the mounting holes and managed to align the motor with the gearbox... well... more or less at least... seems I'm not that precise with a standing drill as I'd like to be.

either way it's waiting to be put together for a test.
after that I'll glue the pieces of this sandwich together, and paint it.

I have no idea how strong it will be, but probably it will be able to hold it together well enough.

I'll post pictures soon.
