You say the stand is lagged and glued and steel braced. Well the lags will come right out and the steel bracing has to be held to the wood with bolts/screws that can be taken off. And then your only probelm is glue, and its probably wood glue that will seperate with little force. And then all you have to do is screw everything back together and apply some more glue and its a project completed. You could have this done in a few hours, probably less time then your average time spent on mfk in a few days.
