Episode 2
The team takes on a pocket-sized racing car, a century-old and very rusty weather vane, and a much-loved but horribly damaged leather rhinoceros.
Things are heating up in the Repair Shop forge as metalworker Dominic Chinea tackles one of the biggest challenges he’s ever faced: a dilapidated old weather vane that once stood proudly on the roof of the village church in Gosport, Hampshire. Rusted 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, to stand proudly once again in its Hampshire churchyard home.
Master 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.
And the Repair Shop's authority on all things clockwork, horologist Steve Fletcher, does some sterling work on a little racing car and amazes its owner with an unexpected addition.
