Episode 3
A Swiss clock that caused a honeymooning couple鈥檚 first argument forty years ago, an upright piano and a collection of skateboards are among the radical transformations.
Sabrina Grant presents as a team of expert crafters transform unused objects into contemporary and functional items.
Forty years ago, David and Marion bought a Swiss clock as a souvenir on their honeymoon. Its price led to their first argument, and over the years Marion has been tempted to throw it out, as it is no longer used. But they would love it to be something practical that would remind them of a special time together. Metal sculptor Leigh and carpentry expert Shelley offer rival designs for them to choose between: a transformation into a stunning piece of furniture or an artwork to celebrate their ruby anniversary.
An old upright piano has been in Kath鈥檚 family for around 140 years, but the workings are so worn out that it can鈥檛 be mended. Expert woodworker Daisy and interior design crafter Rob now have the chance to offer their ideas as to what it could become. The piano has been an important feature of Kath鈥檚 family memories, so the challenge is on to capture its spirit while turning into something different.
Kierhardy cruises into the workshop in his campervan 鈥� not for its transformation, but because inside are several old skateboards. Kierhardy is passionate about skateboarding and combines it with youth work in his community. Metals expert Titch has a radical idea for the skateboards that he hopes will impress everyone down at the skatepark.
And Shelley has a special project of her own to work on. The woodwork specialist鈥檚 wife Mags lost her mum recently, and Shelley wants to do something that will give them both something to remember her by. Two vintage cameras that belonged to Mags鈥檚 mum are no longer used, but they captured a lifetime of travels and adventures. Shelley designs beautiful pieces of art that bring the cameras back into focus.
