Easiest thing to do is to draw something, and print it 1:1; that way you can simple put the 'template' on the aluminum with double sided tape and cut away the stuff that's in the way.
A vice is a handy tool too. As is a press drill, but you can manage without both.
you are able to make parts like this fair easy;

Seems like we both make our parts very similarly (print out drawing and double-sided tape it to the material, cut with scroll saw). Except you definitely take more time on yours, getting the edges nicer. I don't finish my parts like that...
You didn't cut that CF with the scroll saw, did you? I haven't had a blade last more than 30sec. on any composite fiber materials (fiberglass, CF, G10, etc).
