The team restore a scientist’s notebook, an unfinished wooden ship and a silver locket.

Jay Blades and the team restore a scientist’s notebook, an unfinished wooden model of a ship and a treasured silver locket.

Jay Blades and the team resuscitate three family heirlooms, reviving the memories that they hold. 

The barn’s first arrival is Clint Yallop. He has brought in his grandfather’s notebook, which desperately requires the skills of bookbinder Chris Shaw. Clint’s grandfather, George Yallop, worked as a pathology technician at the Royal London Hospital in the early 1900s and meticulously documented his research and experiments in notebooks like this. Sadly, this is the only one that remains, which makes it even more precious to Clint. He remembers his grandfather as an intriguing gentleman who was always warm and welcoming. Clint would like to refer to the scientific notebook during his own studies in horticulture, but the fragile book is crumbling. Chris is fascinated by the little notebook and throws himself into this unusual restoration project.

Next to arrive at the barn is Matt Goddard, who is hoping an unfinished labour of love can be completed by wood wizard Will Kirk. Matt’s father passed away before he could finish this model of a merchant trading ship, and although Matt has good intentions, he knows the complicated construction is beyond him. The abandoned nautical build has been gathering dust for decades, and Matt and his siblings feel it’s the right time to finish what his father started and share it, passing it one to another every Christmas so they can all be reminded of his passion for all things nautical. Will concentrates on the intricate wooden structure and ropes in Amanda to help with the sails.

Goldsmith Richard Talman greets the day’s last visitor to the barn, Sarah Kershaw. Sarah has brought in her mother Brenda’s little silver locket. It was an engagement present from her husband, Sarah’s father, in the 1960s but has been broken and unwearable for years. It did hold sweet pictures of the couple, but one is missing, as is the heart-shaped frame that held it in place. They lost Sarah’s father a few years ago, and Sarah knows her mother would love to wear the locket again as an everyday reminder of her loving husband. Richard sets to work tackling the extreme tarnishing and crafting pieces that will allow Brenda to enjoy it once again.
