Keith Kear from Epping Forest is the first to arrive with a junior drum kit for musical instrument expert Pete Woods. The 1920s drums were originally his father's and then a young Keith played them to his heart's content. Keith's sons were the next to enjoy them but all that banging by enthusiastic young drummers has left them worse for wear. The skins are torn, the metal work rusted and the cymbals and triangle have fallen off. Pete throws himself into this project - sanding back and repainting the scratched drums, replacing the skins and ridding the brass cymbal of its many dents. He calls on Suzie to fashion new leather straps to suspend the other percussion instruments to the kit and the miniature drum kit is transformed...ready for the next young drummer in the Kear family. Next to consult the Repair Shop is Christine Upton from Kent. She hopes top brass Steve Fletcher can reignite an old flame from her past and convert a lamp, currently with an electrical fitting, back to its original oil burning state. The lamp lit many a dark night during Christine's childhood visits to her grandparents farm and she'd love to bring back all those happy memories and share them with her grandchildren. Steve removes the cable, fills the holes that were left, fits a new oil burner and buffs the brass until it gleams. Christine can hardly believe her eyes. And Dom and Jay sharpen up their acts with a vintage power tool. Father and son, John and Chris Dearlove from East Sussex, bring Dominic Chinea a 100 year old fret saw. Once the pride and joy of John's father, who was a keen carpenter, it was used to make toys for the family's children. John, who has inherited his father's love, would like to have it restored so he can use it too. This is a first for Dom and after carefully dismantling the faithful work horse, he cleans and refurbishes every inch and soon has it back in action again, ready to make the next batch of toys.
