The Repair Shop

Series 7: Episode 30

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nWood expert Will Kirk is entrusted with a dearly loved wooden soldier’s trunk that has been passed down five generations of one family. Now custodian Luke is embarking on officer training at Sandhurst and would like to take his great-great-grandfather Sidney’s military chest with him. Careful conservation from Will, along with some signwriting skills from Dominic Chinea, leave the trunk fit for inspection once again.\n\nRoxanna arrives at the barn with her precious Persian tea set, a treasured reminder of frequent childhood trips to Iran to visit family. The set was central to family gatherings for decades and has the dents and dings to prove it. Silversmith Brenton West takes a shine to the set and his careful craftsmanship, served up to Roxanna along with a cup of traditional Persian tea, satiates her thirst to rekindle those wonderful childhood memories.\n\nAnd metal worker Dominic Chinea and master saddler Suzie Fletcher pair up to revive a vintage pair of roller skates dating back to the 1890s.
