2. What adhesive to bond edges of plexiglass boxes too sapele base?

Sorry, no idea. My best guess is that you'll probably need a mechanical
fastener of some sort. Acrylic plastics are glued to each other with a
solvent
that essentially bonds them into a single piece. This process obviously
won't
work if the other piece is wood.

I have successfully glue acrylic 'Perspex' to wood with a general purpose
hot melt adhesive. It pays to warm both surfaces before gluing.

I seem to remember that you can make an adhesive by dissolving scraps in
glacial acetic acid.

Take care with the acid.
