Well I decided that I would spend this week on the saw table (fingers crossed!) whilst I wait for a few items for the Fowler traction engine. Today I completed milling the inserts for the tensioner pulley system and the saw arm guide (see photo's below). Not a great deal done but at least I was out smelling the oil again! 

Once I have done the saw table i will get the tender to a first fixing state before putting it on the back burner to go full steam (sorry_) ahead with the two Seal engines. It seems so long ago since they were out of their boxes!.
