The Repair Shop

Details

Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Peter Mason from Herefordshire has brought in a kitchen curiosity from a bygone age. Peter hopes metal craftsman Dominic Chinea can salvage it. Lots of fun is had when organ restorer David Burville takes on a Spanish barrel organ, known as an organillo. Audio specialist Mark Stuckey is ready and waiting for Lorraine McCourt, who possesses a precious memento of a vintage love story. The portable 1950s record player was a gift from her father to her mother when they were courting. Lastly, Malcom Jordan from Chippenham needs help with a treasured leather document case that has been in his possession for 65 years. Leather expert Susie Fletcher treats this fragile keepsake with utmost care, reinforcing and restitching the entire item, and in doing so preserves it for the foreseeable future.
