BBC Two - David & Jay’s Touring Toolshed, Series 1, Episode 3

David and Jay meet ambitious amateur boat builders and help Becky with basket weaving.

David and Jay are in Scotland on a quest to help a basket weaver. Jay gets stuck in with an ancient Scottish craft, but will David approve of his efforts?

David and Jay arrive in the fishing village of Portsoy in north east Scotland, where they are visiting the Scottish Traditional Boat Show.

Retired doctor Becky shares her passion for basket weaving. Becky reveals that she would love to learn how to improve her baskets, and David and Jay introduce her to expert basket maker Helen. They work together to troubleshoot the cause of Becky’s basket making woes and fix some bad habits.

Meanwhile, David and Jay head to the harbour to meet with a local rowing group who want to share their boat that they have made. And finally, the pair head to the nearby village of Cullen to meet Craig, a traditional cooper. He chats about his craft and demonstrates how a barrel is made - before Jay is challenged to have a go himself.
