What? Why are you using aluminum?


Grab some scrap wood and drywall screws and throw this thing together
in 10 minutes.


My mill can cut aluminum straighter than I can cut scrap.

You shouldn't really have to cut anything "straight".

The 2 x 4's for the base are already cut straight, you just have to
cut them to length.

The same goes for anything that you'll be using for the upper frame.
Any kind of scraps that can be laid out in a square will work,
including more 2 x 4's.

I really believe that you are over thinking this fairly simple
project.
