Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. \n \nThe first item to arrive is a double challenge for metal man Dominic Chinea and upholstery expert Sonnaz Nooranvary. Father and daughter Joe and Sophie Davies have a piece of their family trade’s history that they are hoping to revive to be used again. Joe’s father, Bill, opened a barber’s shop in 1949, and both Joe and Sophie have followed in his footsteps. One of the last remaining mementos of the original shop is a 1960s chrome and vinyl barber’s chair, which Sophie dreams of having as the centre piece of her own shop. Dom must work out how to repair the hydraulic mechanism, while Sonnaz has to replace and reupholster the ripped and faded vinyl seat covering. \n \nNext through the barn doors is Sima Oskoui, with an unusual instrument that will test the skills of Julyan Wallis. Sima has brought in her late father’s tar, a type of long-necked stringed instrument from Iran and a precursor to the modern guitar. For Sima, getting the tar restored and playing again will restore an important link to the father she lost in 1996 and to her own childhood in Tehran, while for Julyan this will be his first attempt at restoring a tar. \n\nVintage arcade and pinball machine restorer Geoff Harvey takes on the next assignment, a German roulette machine belonging to Sian Salkeld. For Sian, the machine brings back memories of childhood holidays in Norfolk, where it lived in the family cottage. Even back then the roulette machine was constantly breaking down, but her dad Glyn was always able to fix it. Sadly, Glyn suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car crash ten years ago and hasn’t attempted to fix the machine since. So now it’s up to Geoff to try to get it running and spinning once more. \n \nFinally, Dom is back in action again, this time with woodwork specialist Will Kirk as they take on a thorny equine problem – a worn out vintage carousel horse called Edward. Edward is the very treasured companion of Kate Horncastle and the centrepiece of her sensory therapy garden at home, which helps Kate with her autism and epilepsy. But the years outside in the garden haven’t been kind to Edward, and he is in need of a complete overhaul from the metal and wood dynamic duo.
