“Traction engine and rack saw” YANA day 64 of 100

I had an all too brief visit to Henham steam rally yesterday. I had seen David and his rack saw a few weeks earlier at the Brampton plough day so it was nice to see him again and to have a great chat.

David was sawing a trunk of speculated beech into thick planks which will later be turned into cutting blocks.

His rack saw was being driven by belt from a 100 year old traction engine.
