I took a second pass and addressed as many comments as I could, uploaded here. Hopefully it is a lot more readable and missing less important info
If that's the case, I would highly recommend removing the odd pockets and try to make things out of right angles instead. Do final countouring with a bandsaw and sander. In my experience, doing rectangular plates and holes is dead easy, but the second you want to do precise angles or curves it's time to move to CNC.
You also may want to move things to 2 decimal places wherver you don't need the precision of 3.
EDIT: Especially the odd pocket on the left; that would be extremely time-consuming to do on a manual mill.
