The Repair Shop

Series 7: Episode 14

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nMechanical maestro Steve Fletcher and metal man Dominic Chinea tackle the motor and body of a hand-made toy racing car. The unique vehicle serves as a memento of a brave father from Poland who, as a boy during the war, was forced to work in a munitions factory’s iron foundry. Eventually, with the help of the French resistance, he managed to escape. Due to this early experience, his daughter Linda remembers him as a man who could make anything out of metal. The racing car she brings to the barn is one of his creations that she yearns to see going once again.\n\nLeather expert Suzie Fletcher get to grips with a leather bowls bag that is due to be passed on to the fifth generation of a sports-mad family. Owner Joyce’s grandfather Edward passed his love of crown green bowls on to her. Now she would like to pass the bag, and her love of bowls, on to her own grandchildren. An impromptu game of bowls on the grass outside the barn reveals a competitive streak in Jay.\n\nAnd wood expert Will Kirk works his magic on an intricately carved box from the Far East. Owner David’s mother bought it with her when she came to Europe from Singapore as a young bride.
