the post will be cut so it slots over the corner of the stand .......i went for a simple design and didnt take long to turn on my lathe

 

[Philip Mardling]

i turned all the posts and cut em out so they slot on to the stand corner i also made a start on the tank surround ....the posts were also cut out so once the frame is made the tank will sit inside it
