This looks great! I love that it has two different lifts. My best tip for lining up the tops (if double-sided tape or painter's tape and CA glue don't work as people have previously mentioned) is to use a piece of paper. Line it up exactly where the top will be, use a pencil to mark the holes, then flip that over to the bottom side of the box top and line up the corner of the paper with the corner of the top. I've used this trick a few times, both using the pencil to do a rubbing to get the locations of the holes, or just poke a hole in the paper where the holes are. My dad used to use graphite powder also to cover the bracket and put the top down transferring the graphite to the bottom of the board. The only problem with that is if you don't get the board set down exactly in the right spot or the bracket is just a hair too low, it won't transfer, but I've used that trick to and in the right cases, it works perfectly!

I would use a transfer screw set, or something similar to mark the holes for the lift mechanism. You could make your own by cutting down some screws, or sharpening some short bolts to a point. Look up transfer screws for the general idea of how they work, and with some creativity you could use the same principal here.

A trick to line up a top with the brackets in a situation like this is to use some 3M command strips. Line it up, press it in place, and if you use enough strips, you can lift the top up with the brackets attached. Adjust the hole position very slightly to account for the height of the command strip. Depending on the lift mechanism, it is sometimes easier to remove the gas assist.

I used blue painters tape on the table top and on the lift hardware with super glue between them. I then marked all the holes with a pencil, then removed the top and pre drilled on the marks. I put the table top back on the lift hardware and secured it with screws.

I used double sided tape on the top of the hinges (Alien tape) and it was just strong enough to lift the table tops and then it was easy to drill the holes, remove the tape and screw the top.The result was perfect on the first try and it didn’t remove any of the finish. I’m not promoting this particular tape at all I’m just happy I finally found a use for it! Thanks again for your video and plans you are a great teacher and very talented!

Maybe this was mentioned, I didn't read ALL the comments. I think you could save some alignment headaches with the lift-top mechanisms by changing the order of assembly a little. Leave the bottom out of the table until you have the top secured in place. This way you could just flip the table over and work on it from underneath.

To mark the hole exactly to align the brackets to the table top squeeze a piece of cotton ball in to the holes and drop some ink on it. Lay the table top on top and there you have the perfect mark on your table top.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the right size nuts so I had to use tape to hold the bolts in place which didn’t work real well.
