some good tips there thanks :D I thought I had cleaned off all excess glue but when it came to sanding it started to ball up on the paper even though I couldn't see it. Then when I thought I had cleaned it all off after sanding, it came back to bite me when I stained. The stain is water based...

I've been looking at a number of bench tools on ebay and the like ... hopefully have a bandsaw by the end of the week .. just got to sort out the drill press and belt/disc sander ... not many old machines around though and the cost of a courier is pretty high as well ...
