Start by clamping the pair of plates together then using the mill to drill the holes for the standoffs. Bolt the pair of plates together using the standoff holes. Machine the holes for the bearings so that the holes in the two plates match. You may have to make a block to support the work piece that has recesses for the bolts used to hold the pairs of plates together.

Would you try to do the gear spacing this way? Seems to me that would still be difficult to do manually, though I have limited machining experience.
