I was just reading one of my old Fine Woodworking magazines and someone sent in a tip for a way to mount a hand tool like a drill or belt sander.

After the bondo dries you set the top of your drill in it and secure it with a couple of hose clamps. The picture in the mag made it very clear but I don't remember which issue it was in.
