Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nThings are heating up in the Repair Shop forge, as metalworker Dominic Chinea tackles one of the biggest challenges he has ever faced: a dilapidated old weather vane that once stood proudly on the roof of the village church in Gosport, Hampshire. Battered by decades of everything the English weather could throw at it, the weather vane has deteriorated to near the point of no return. Rusted, jammed up and stubbornly non-functioning, the job requires Dom to call on all his considerable skills – from metal salvage to graphic design – before it can be reinstalled in its Hampshire churchyard home.\n\nMaster saddler Suzie Fletcher enlists the help of teddy bear expert Julie Tatchell to fix an unusual leather rhino named Ralph. Poor old Ralph is missing his tail, has a baggy bottom and bears the scars of a tangle with the family cat. But despite his weathered appearance, he is a much-treasured gift and has huge sentimental value for his owner Claire. In her 40-year career Suzie has never come across a project quite like this, but Ralph is in store for a remarkable makeover. \n\nAnd horologist Steve Fletcher does some sterling work on a little racing car, amazing its owner with an unexpected addition.
