The old VisMig bench was replaced with a deluxe version,  legacy of the late John Cudworth.  Graham Speight on joinery,  Chris Swaine on digging, with a little help from Paul Meredith.

Paul - just cos he's not tall enough!   Goodbye old bench.
Chris got his first blister so Paul had a go with the spade

Luxury back rest added.    Paul doing what he does best.
Testing, testing.      Excellent reviews!    Well done all.
