The team tackle a wooden toolbox, a plate camera and a marionette theatre.

Jay Blades and the team tackle a wooden toolbox, a plate camera and a marionette theatre.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

The skills of both furniture restorer Will Kirk and metalwork specialist Dominic Chinea are called upon when Carol Reynolds from Belfast walks through the barn doors with an item that personifies someone very dear to her. The oak box belonged to her late father, who was a toolmaker at an engineering firm. He kept the instruments of his trade, along with his sketchbooks and calculations, in the various drawers and compartments. However, after years in a shed, damp got the better of it. What’s more, Carol had to use a crowbar to force open the box, resulting in a section being sheared off. Will gets to work on the box, cutting out the damaged section and creating a new replacement piece, which he colour matches to conceal his repair. 

Vintage camera enthusiast Brenton West is in for a treat as Jacquie Lazelle from Ipswich brings her grandad's 100-year-old plate camera in for repair. Jacquie’s passion for photography began as a child, when she spent many happy hours with her grandad learning how to use this beautiful relic. She would love to see it brought back to life so she can begin using it again. However it requires an epic amount of work. Brenton calls on leather expert Suzie Fletcher to recreate the expandable bellows, which have disintegrated beyond repair, while he fixes the jammed shutter, replaces the viewing glass and gives the camera a full service.
