ABS, a polymer of polystyrene: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Very easy to
cut, saw, drill and glue :-)

I agree with cut saw and drill, but glue? So far, everything I have tried
remains "fragile". I remember, a long time ago, before people used glue for
"recreational" purposes, there were glues for models which actually disolved
the plastic slightly creating more of a weld than a gluing I can't seem to
find it anymore. And I have not had a lot of luck with epoxies either. Lego
bricks seem to resist gluing.

Anyone got any glue brands that they know work well?
