Problem is the design requires the top to be routered once attached. If I do the top separately, it would be finished before attaching, so I would need to attach from underneath with brackets (like a counter top).

Plan B is just drape the whole project and myself in a plastic sanding booth for the router work I might even post a pic of that.

Don't think brackets are required. Once the water is in the tank it ain't moving

I've decided to do it properly (so unlike me) and disassemble and shorten the stand. I want to keep the original design and it has to leave the house one day, preferably in one piece

this thread made me chuckle. OK, I loled. A lot.

I think she might have stopped. Laughing turned to shaking head, uttering words that sound like "idiot"...
