Hot melt glue, It is very cheap to get at any craft store.

Preferably not with nails…hehehe!! Sorry. That wasn’t helpful. Well, there is something called E600 which I use for stuff. Good tough glue. My husband uses Gorilla glue in his woodshop, and it can be used for many things. I didn’t look at your link…is the glass bowl clear? I would be unsure as to what to use if it IS clear, as the glue will show under the bowl. Is there a glass comany near you? Maybe they could drill a hole in the bottom for you? If you could get this done, then using rubber washers inbetween the bowl and a bolt, you could bolt the thing together. Just some thought from a silly girl…LOL!!!

E6000, in a gray tube at craft stores and WalMart is great. Dries semi-clear, just be neat when you assemble it. Also, in the shoe department at WalMart is a tube called ShoeGoo. It is the same as E6000. I used this on a mirror to attach sea shells and put it in my yard. Made it thru 2 hurricanes!!!

If the bowl is not tempered glass, you should be able to drill through the bottom with a diamond drill, and then bolt it on to your chunk of wood.
If you’re concerned about breaking the glass or cracking it, use the glue.

U can go to a craft store and get 527 bonding glue. So far the best I’ve used .

Super glue? seems to work on everything else. Also, I cracked up at the nail answer! Have fun playing football-
