Hi all, I'm build a basking area for my RES and I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to attach plexiglass to wood.

Drill it and screw it or use something like epoxy putty.

I am only just now finding all my old tools in the garage as I start to do these DIY projects.
When I was first married, my husband and I would do projects (because it was our first house!) and we'd have to buy the tools, then we'd lose them in the garage, and then we'd need to buy the tools again. Yeah, before kids, when we both worked, money was fun. Anyway, so far I've found three drills, two full sets of drill bits, a bunch of screws, and so many wrenches. Oh, and a circular saw.

One day maybe we will sell them all and buy really decent tools.

I'm excited to see what you're making, Browe24.

Ill have to post a picture when I get off. It's just a basic ATBA. Not really much to it just yet.
