Buzzing at the shed.

The last few months have been busy in Moffat Men's Shed.

We managed to get Duff's bench refurbished to a high standard and it has been delivered back to it normal location next to the old cemetery gates.

This project involved Civic Pride, The Town Hall Trust, Moffat Rugby Club, and the Moffat and District Men's Shed.

Like most public benches around Moffat Duff's bench was waterlogged, and in need of some tender loving care.

After many months of drying out at the Town Hall the bench was transported to our shed where after many shifts we managed to bring it back to the bare wood, sand it and carry out minor repairs. The bench was solid and built to last no screws in its construction wooden dowels had been used to hold it together.

With the introduction of modern paint new life has been given to the bench and with luck and a bit care lets hope it last another 25 years.
