Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Master saddler Suzie Fletcher and wood restorer Will Kirk pool their talents to get a dilapidated stitching stool back on its feet again. The stool, used to hold leather in place to stitch, belonged to Honora Baldwin's father. He was a kind, creative man, and was very clever with leather. Honora remembers her father making her all sorts of lovely leather items on the stool including her school satchel. Honora would like to learn a few leather craft skills and knows her dad would have been very proud to see making use of the stool that brought him such pleasure. However, the stool is no longer fit for purpose, luckily Suzie is of course well acquainted with such devices and knows just what to do. While Will freshens the woodwork, blending the new alterations with the old.
Maria Ainsworth has brought in her late father's reclining armchair, in the hope that upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary and metal maestro Dominic Chinea can give it a new lease of life. The chair was a gift from one her father's patients. He was a dedicated doctor and hugely respected by both colleagues and his community. He died in his 40s and his loss was felt by many. The chair is one of the few tangible things Maria has left to remind her of him and she's keen to have it reconditioned, so her family can use and enjoy it again, just as her father did. The fabric is worn and dated and the mechanism, that allows it to recline, has seized up. Dom sets to work figuring out how to get it moving again and Sonnaz brings her skill and flair to the re-upholstery.
Finally, horologist Steve Fletcher attempts to jump start a clock in the shape of a frog back to life, with help from ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay. Stefan Kruczkowski is hugely attached to this 1960s clockwork character. It belonged to Stefan's Polish grandparents, bought after they started a new life in the UK and took pride of place on the kitchen wall. It's cheeky face and eyes that dart from side to side with each swing of the pendulum kept Stefan entertained as a boy. He'd really like to see him working again and hang him in his own kitchen so that he can entertain the next generation of the family. However, the workings are gummed up with decades of kitchen grime and gunk and the bright green hue of his clock housing is faded and chipped.
