A beautiful carved walnut piano stool arrives for the attention of furniture restorer Will Kirk. Proud owner Mary treasures the stool as it holds many memories of the lady who took her under her wing as a teenager.

Horologist Steve Fletcher’s knowledge of dials, numbers and needles is called upon to resurrect a very unusual object that has been broken for over 30 years. Owner Simon arrives at the barn with a defunct speedometer from his 1920s vintage car. An engineer himself, he has worked on every element of his beloved car, but getting the speedometer to work has defeated him. There’s nothing else for it but to dismantle the entire unit and do some major figuring out.

And basketry specialist Sarah Hatton undertakes the repair of a wicker baby crib that has been at the heart of a family for generations. Show less
