00:00A workshop full of wonders.
00:03I heard the word watch.
00:05Home to experts and time-honoured crafts.
00:09There you go, that's a good sound.
00:11Together repairing treasured pieces of the past.
00:15Oh, I like that. That is really good.
00:19Wow, look at that.
00:20Wow, look at that.
00:23Quite proud of that.
00:25And unlocking their stories.
00:27I'm completely blown away by this.
00:29Oh dear.
00:31Bringing the broken.
00:33I don't know where to start with this.
00:35Back to life.
00:36Wow.
00:38It's stunning.
00:40Wow, fantastic.
00:43I think it's just amazing.
00:46Yay!
00:47Welcome to the repair shop.
01:02Morning, Steve.
01:03Morning.
01:03You all right?
01:04Yeah, good, thank you.
01:06First to arrive at the barn, Christine Jagger from South Yorkshire.
01:11She's pinning her hopes and will's woodwork expertise to secure a future for a gift from her past.
01:19Hi there.
01:20Hi.
01:21You must be Christine.
01:22Yeah.
01:22So this is yours?
01:23It is.
01:24Yes.
01:25Yes, looking very sorry for itself I'm afraid.
01:27This is a garden bench that my late husband bought for me one Christmas.
01:33He bought it from a garden centre and I've had it over 25 years.
01:36Yes.
01:37What was your husband's name?
01:38Gordon.
01:39Gordon.
01:39Sometimes I wasn't very good at Christmas presents.
01:42So this was one of his better presents.
01:46I've had like a garden fork and a garden spade and...
01:50Hit or miss then?
01:52Yes.
01:52And I never knew.
01:53So this was my most favourite present ever.
01:58It was Christmas morning and I always used to cook Christmas lunch for my family.
02:03So it just disappeared.
02:04Where is he?
02:05I wanted him to peel the sprouts and the carrots.
02:07Yeah.
02:07And he was a builder and he had a pickup truck.
02:10And he came down the lane and all I could see was this big wheel.
02:14He says, oh, this is your Christmas present.
02:17This must be really hard to wrap with wrapping.
02:18Yeah.
02:19He put a ribbon on it though.
02:20Did he?
02:21Yeah.
02:22When he drove down the lane it was flapping in the wind.
02:26Yeah.
02:26And we decided that we put it under the front window.
02:31He used to race pigeons.
02:33And we could see from the seat the pigeon loft down at the bottom of the garden.
02:40And the pigeons used to fly around and it'd say, oh, there's our Janet there.
02:43They all had names and he knew every single one.
02:46And then at the weekend I used to spot her in the garden.
02:49I love gardening.
02:51He'd make a drink and he'd shout, take your coffees up.
02:53Because we used to put the cups here and I used to sit at that side and he'd sit at
02:58this side.
02:59He just used to make me laugh all the time.
03:03He passed away in 2009.
03:06He had cancer.
03:07But I take a lot of comfort from my sons and my family and my grandchildren.
03:13Yeah.
03:14What would you like me to do with the bench?
03:17Obviously, mend the arms and just clean it up.
03:21Because we used to put it in the garage every winter and then he used to oil it and then
03:27we put it out when the weather got better.
03:29But then when Gordon wasn't here, it's just been left outside.
03:34It makes me sad that I haven't looked after it better because it means so much to me.
03:40Why have you just decided to have it fixed now?
03:42Because it would have been our 50th wedding anniversary at the end of this month.
03:48And I just feel that he's looking down on me and saying, you know, it's all right, you know.
03:56I have such lovely memories and my dogs sit on it now.
04:00So I've got a little sausage dog sitting, so I chat to them now.
04:05This has linked to lots of memories in the past.
04:07But it would be nice to make new memories.
04:09Yeah.
04:10It's been lovely to meet you and I'll do my very best to get this looking lovely again with you.
04:14Thank you ever so much, Will. I really appreciate it.
04:16See you soon. Bye.
04:36This bench is in really bad condition.
04:39I mean, everything is so dry and flaking off, but I do like it.
04:43I mean, it's not your average bench or your average Christmas present either.
04:48But I absolutely love the sentiment behind it.
04:50This arm here, that might have to go.
04:53I've got part of an arm on that side.
04:55I might be able to salvage that, maybe.
04:58A lot of the damage could be lurking beneath the surface here.
05:01So I need to sand this back so I can determine what can be kept and what needs to be
05:04replaced.
05:21Are they Japanese saws?
05:24Yes.
05:24Really, really handy.
05:26They're pool saws.
05:28Right.
05:29So they're really accurate.
05:30And this one's my favourite because it's so flexible.
05:34Wow, look at that.
05:34And really good steel as well.
05:35Unbelievable.
05:40Dodging the downpour, Gaynor McCarthy-Smith and her husband Jamie.
05:45They have a memento that's also braved the elements for paper conservator Angelina.
05:52Hi, welcome.
05:53Hi.
05:53Come on in.
05:56Wow.
06:00This is so big.
06:02Goodness me.
06:04Wow.
06:05This is amazing.
06:07Is this a map?
06:08Yeah, it's a fisherman's chart of the North Sea.
06:10It basically shows the UK here and all the fishing grounds were right up to the Hebrides and to the
06:16Pharaohs.
06:17So if you look carefully in the chart, it will say, for example, Haddock, Haig, April to October.
06:23So they knew where to fish.
06:24This is fascinating.
06:26Whose is this?
06:27It was my late father's.
06:29His name was Joseph Patrick McCarthy, but he was known as Paddy and he used it at sea.
06:34He was a trawler skipper out of Grimsby.
06:36Wow.
06:37This particular chart is 1945 and we know your dad started fishing in 1946.
06:43So this may have been one of his first charts that he used.
06:46Wow.
06:47So when did he start?
06:48He went to work down the docks at the age of 16.
06:51He actually went on the boats and never looked back.
06:56How long did he do that for?
06:57Over 50 years.
06:59Now, I don't know a great deal about fishing, but I do know it is an incredibly...
07:03It's brutal, isn't it?
07:05Yeah.
07:05It's a difficult job.
07:06It's probably one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
07:09Yeah.
07:10And also these people that went out, if they didn't catch fish, they didn't get paid.
07:14Wow.
07:14You had to be good to earn your money.
07:17So they go out for two to three weeks, or unless the boat was full of fish, land it, do
07:23a two-day turnaround and go back out to sea.
07:25We'll do that continuously.
07:26He was renowned in the mid-70s particularly.
07:29I think he broke the record four or five times for landing the amount of fish.
07:34In 1976, out of the whole year.
07:38328 days at sea.
07:40328 days at sea.
07:41328 days away at sea.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Did he bring this with him on every trip?
07:46I think as technology moved on, he would have used other resources on the boat.
07:51But I don't doubt he would have taken this as a fail safe.
07:54This is that thing you don't leave home without.
07:57Yes.
07:57I imagine every time he'd gone out to sea, it must have been terrifying.
08:02When I was a child, I think I just didn't understand.
08:05But when he was home, he was amazing.
08:07He was great fun because he wanted to make the most of us when he was home.
08:10So precious time together.
08:12Yeah.
08:13What's the dream then?
08:14So we're doing some renovations on the house and we thought it'd be nice to put this up.
08:18I love the fact it's used and it was something that he used.
08:23But the paper on top is beginning to pull apart.
08:26Obviously on the crease lines, which you'd expect.
08:28But I think the rest of it is becoming very weak.
08:33There's obviously quite a lot of staining on the paper.
08:37Would you like to keep it this way?
08:40Yeah.
08:41I would.
08:41I love the stains on it.
08:43I love the fact there's probably tea stains because he was a massive tea drinker.
08:47So with sloshing seas, it's probably spilt over.
08:51So we do have a very obvious corner missing.
08:55It would be nice if we could see what was there.
08:59OK.
08:59I'll have a think.
09:01Brilliant.
09:01Well, thank you both so much for trusting us with this beautiful map.
09:06See you later.
09:07Bye-bye.
09:11You are going to learn all about the sea once you've finished repairing this.
09:14I'll be able to navigate.
09:15We go on a boat trip.
09:16Yes.
09:17Good luck.
09:17Thank you, Dom.
09:33There is quite a lot that needs to be done.
09:37This has been lined in the back with the textile.
09:41So this is paper that has been lined with the textile.
09:44So because it was folded so much, there's all of these peelings and liftings of the paper
09:51along the folds that are coming off of the textile.
09:55Both of them need to be flattened.
09:57In order to do that, I will need to use some water, some humidification.
10:03Also, in the bottom corner, I need to find what was there and think about the best way to replace
10:12it.
10:12But before any of that can happen, I need to remove any surface dirt.
10:19So I'll just use a very soft eraser made specifically for paper.
10:26And this will not remove any of the much-loved stains.
10:34This is just a tiny little corner and I have to travel the entire length of the North Sea.
10:42So there's a big journey for me, which is just starting.
11:01When I finished sanding the bench, and I've taken the back off because it was a lot easier to sand
11:06in two parts,
11:07it really reveals that true beauty in the wood.
11:10And it's a lovely, rich teak colour.
11:12Now, teak has lots of natural oils in it, which gives it better resistance to rain and water.
11:18However, I'm thinking that the arms aren't actually made of teak at all.
11:22Maybe the originals have broken off and they were replaced with this wood here.
11:26Now, water has gone into all these nooks and crannies. It's just crumbling away.
11:30I'm going to have to replace these completely.
11:33Thankfully, I have the remnants of the previous arms.
11:37This one here, that's the upper armrest.
11:40And this one here, that's where it sweeps down at the front.
11:44So my plan is to kind of combine the two together to make a template of what one singular arm
11:50should look like.
11:55Once I've cut this out, much like a tailored suit, you notice we need lots of fittings to make sure
11:59that this fits just right.
12:19Look at that. Perfect.
12:23What I need to do now is to transfer this onto this mighty big piece of teak here.
12:30and get it cut out on the bantle. So here I go.
12:54Well, I've cut my two pieces of wood.
12:56Now it's just a case of joining them together to create one continuous arm.
13:00I'm going to attach them by a tongue and groove joint.
13:03And it's the same joint that's been used at the back of the bench.
13:06So it's sort of in keeping with everything else.
13:09Everything needs to be really precise.
13:12If something's slightly out of line, then that could create a future weakness.
13:19Well, that's the outline of the first part of my joint.
13:22I now need to cut that on the bandsaw, then I can glue the pieces together.
13:41Arriving from Somerset, Jane James and a lifelong companion,
13:47He needs help from the queens of all things cuddly, Julie and Amanda.
13:53Hello. Hello.
13:55Oh, welcome to the barn. Thank you very much.
13:58Look at him.
14:00This is my bear.
14:02My mum gave me the bear when I was born,
14:05and I was probably half his size.
14:09I don't remember a time without him.
14:11What is your mum's name?
14:12My mum's name's Betty.
14:15She was a ward sister at St Martin's Hospital in Bath in the 1960s,
14:21and at that time, Eddie Cochran was in an accident in a car.
14:27The Eddie Cochran.
14:28The Eddie Cochran, the famous rock and roll singer.
14:31Oh, my goodness.
14:32Wow.
14:32He was 21.
14:34In the car was himself, his girlfriend, called Sharon Sheely, and Jean Vincent,
14:41and mum's hospital was the nearest hospital.
14:43Eddie Cochran arrived and died at her hospital.
14:47Wow.
14:49And Jean Vincent survived.
14:50Survived, yeah.
14:52Sharon had a fractured pelvis and was admitted to my mum's ward.
14:56Not many people have heard about her,
14:58but she was one of the first American female songwriters for rock and roll.
15:04Gosh.
15:05She would have been in the hospital for quite a long time,
15:08because at that time, you would have been on bed rest.
15:11Your mum must have forged quite a strong relationship with Sharon.
15:15Definitely, because my mum got to know her patients really well.
15:21And although she was a star in her own right,
15:24and obviously her boyfriend was a very international star,
15:30she was always a patient to my mum.
15:32And I'm presuming that Sharon would have had a lot of visitors.
15:35She certainly had Billy Fury come to see her,
15:37and this teddy bear was given to her by him.
15:40Oh, my goodness.
15:41My mum tells me that she was pregnant with me,
15:46and Sharon Sheely gave this teddy bear to my mum to give to me.
15:51Right.
15:53Maybe it was a token of her thanks for the care on the ward.
15:58What was it like growing up with a mum that was a nurse?
16:01Very practical, but very loving.
16:04Very caring.
16:06She was always a nurse, till she retired at 60.
16:10Is your mum still with us?
16:11Mum's 93.
16:13Oh, wow.
16:14And very frail,
16:17but can still talk about these days on the ward.
16:20This was a precious item given to her.
16:23Yeah.
16:24And he was part of me from day one of being a baby,
16:29which is why he looks so threadbare,
16:32because he's been loved.
16:33He's been loved.
16:34Look at the colour he was.
16:36Exactly.
16:37Beautiful.
16:37So his pores were red.
16:39Bright red.
16:40Kind of quite velvety.
16:41Yeah.
16:42I do think his head's about to fall off as well.
16:44He's got a look like the age that he is.
16:48But I'd like to give him a bit of a makeover.
16:51He's 64 years old,
16:53and I'd like him to be preserved for my children.
16:57My mum had great stories of her nursing career,
17:00but this one I think is a special story.
17:03And will you take him to see your mum?
17:04Oh, yes.
17:06She'll absolutely love it.
17:08We're going to look forward to doing this, aren't we?
17:09Thank you very much.
17:11You take care.
17:12OK.
17:12Bye.
17:15What an amazing story.
17:17Eddie Cochran.
17:18Eddie Cochran.
17:18Come on.
17:19Oh.
17:28All this area here is where it's unstuffed,
17:31so he can't support himself anymore.
17:34A certain size and gravity takes over and everything drops.
17:37I know how he feels.
17:42The paws.
17:43She says she remembers them being sort of velvety.
17:46What do you think about his arms and legs and his ears?
17:51We mustn't forget his ears.
17:53This looks very threadbare,
17:55but it just wouldn't be right to put fur back on there.
17:58No.
17:59How do you feel about popping these into some black dye?
18:04Ooh.
18:05Ooh, there's a thought.
18:07If these are more black, this will look brighter.
18:10I don't think you'll notice the bald areas as much.
18:14I reckon we need to make a start then.
18:17Absolutely.
18:25This woodwool is actually in quite good condition.
18:28The trouble is it dries out, doesn't it?
18:30So as soon as we start moving it, it breaks down.
18:33Oh, yes.
18:33We definitely have to replace it when we come to restuff him.
18:43Angelina's gentle cleaning of the fishing chart
18:46has preserved its weather-beaten character,
18:48but also spruced it up.
18:51It's already looking much fresher and it feels much softer.
18:55However, there's all of these liftings of the paper
19:00on all of the areas where the chart was folded.
19:03So these need to be laid flat and then glued down.
19:08And I am using a wet blotting paper
19:13to very lightly humidify those areas.
19:17By using the weight,
19:20the water is slowly going to go into the fibers
19:23and allow them to relax.
19:28But there's so, so many of them.
19:32It's sort of like a production line.
19:35It's going to take a while,
19:37but it's so going to be worth it.
19:39So once everything is nice and humidified,
19:42then I can get them adhered back into position.
20:02Well, now that everything is as flat as possible
20:08and the paper feels nice and supple,
20:10I will introduce my adhesive.
20:14This is methyl cellulose
20:16and paper is made out of cellulose fibers.
20:19So this makes it an ideal adhesive for this job.
20:27I'm just using my bone folder
20:29just to push those areas down.
20:33And once I'm satisfied,
20:35then I will leave them underweight to dry.
20:57The garden bench is starting to come together.
21:02But sitting pretty on it is still a long way off.
21:08Beautiful.
21:09Both arms in place.
21:10But when you look at them now,
21:12they have a sort of sharp angular edge.
21:15Not very comfy to put your arm on
21:16and not really in keeping with the original design.
21:18So I'm going to use my chisel and my files now
21:20to slowly smooth off those edges,
21:23shape them in,
21:24make everything look like it was never damaged
21:26in the first place.
21:56And then we'll start working together.
21:56Music
22:02when I finished shaping the arm I've managed to reproduce that lovely smooth curved top there
22:10but the only thing now that's sticking out like a sore thumb is this damage to the rail on the
22:14side
22:15because the bench has been made from various bits of a cartwheel there are loads of holes but some
22:20parts it's just rotten through I'm going to cut out that main bit of damage and piece in a new
22:25bit of wood let's get sorry the teddy bear with the rock and roll pedigree has been dismantled and
22:49washed in readiness for the next phase rejuvenating his original fur I'm going to try and dye these
22:58pieces of black fabric we definitely wouldn't try and replace the fur Jane did say that she'd really
23:05like him to look brighter but without changing him although there are quite a few balding areas
23:13it's still strong so I want to see if we can get these nice and black again I think it's
23:19going to make
23:20a huge difference I'm starting to make new paw pads for bear we've gone for a really short pile lovely
23:34cotton velvet I'm just going to pin the original paw pads onto my fabric like this and then I can
23:40draw
23:41around and get a really good fit these are really going to smarten him up and make him look really
23:47nice again
24:09what are you doing mate I'm dying but a teddy bear's legs and arms do you do hair
24:17turn around that won't take me very long
24:42oh hello do you want to see I do you look quite pleased
24:49oh that is amazing isn't it stunning right let's get this done yep
25:06Angelina has calmed the surface of the North Sea on the 1940s fishing chart
25:11now the paper and textile layers of its missing corner need reconstructing I've got a really nice
25:19piece of paper that I can use for my infill and I have prepared a piece of linen with a
25:27heat set
25:28adhesive which is going to go behind and I will have my piece of paper cut when ironed it will
25:39activate
25:39and bond all of the layers together but before I go there I need to shape this into the loss
25:48that I
25:49have and prepare it so it will be nice and evenly distributed on the back and not create like a
25:56big
25:56ugly patch so what I'll do is I'll just cut the textile around the overlap there we go
26:10I'll use my very sharp very pointy tweezers and just gonna pull bit by bit those fibers
26:22it's gonna mean that I'm gonna have a nice and beautifully blended repair
26:33once my edges are nice and frayed and I have the paper cut into the right shape then I will
26:42iron both
26:43of them together and I will have my infill
27:11the bottom corner
27:14infill is looking amazing I found an identical fishing chart so I've had this printed onto
27:23tracing paper which will allow me to follow their design in order to match the two images together
27:30all I have to do is just trace the lines on the back with a really soft pencil then I
27:37will turn the
27:39page around trace all of the lines again and the lead that I have deposited on the back will transfer
27:46onto my paper
27:47this way I will have the right information right in front of me to then retouch
28:19I am now starting to
28:24the retouching the retouching of this corner it is such a challenging job to do
28:32I think this is probably the tiniest thing that I have ever retouched just as an example this is
28:40about one and a half millimeters tall so this is so so small this is very very difficult I think
28:51this
28:51is going to be a great ride but my eyes are going to hurt by the end of it
29:16well the back's on and all the woodwork is finished as well but at the moment it looks very
29:21pale very light where it should have a nice rich teak color so i'm going to help this along by
29:26adding some teak stain now this is a sort of ready brownie color it's just an enhancement really oh
29:35yes lovely
29:44that is a beautiful arm the wedge is lighter than the surrounding woods when i've stained
29:51everything i might add some pigments and blend that in further once i've finished staining the
29:58bench i'm going to seal it with a coat of oil which is suitable to go outside and then this
30:03can go back
30:04outside christine's house she can sit on the bench much like she did when she spent those days with
30:09gordon this garden bench was a treasured christmas gift to christine from her late husband gordon but
30:21years spent outside had left it badly damaged christine is hoping it can once again be a special place to
30:30sit
30:35hi christine hi lovely to see you again are you excited yeah i can't believe i'm here i feel as

32:53i'm just overwhelmed because it just looks absolutely amazing the smoothness of the arms and
33:01how comfy the bench is when you sit down i'd forgotten how lovely it was and it just takes
33:08me back to when we were both sat there and laughing we just used to laugh all the time
33:14then i can't wait to get it home
33:37david birch has traveled to the barn from lancashire with his son charlie
33:42their mission is to put camera expert piero pozello in the picture about a very special keepsake
33:50hi there hello lovely to see you thank you oh that looks very nice this is my granddad's camera
33:58from world war ii and he carried it through the war with him until 1945. what was your grandfather's name
34:07charlie charlie charlie yeah in 1938 he joined the royal engineers when the british had to evacuate
34:14france came out through dunkirk and then was sent through to north africa where he fought with montgomery
34:22the eighth army was redeployed to italy when he landed he found his brother who was in a different
34:29regiment had landed uh before him and he was killed they were very close so grandad went to salerno and
34:39he took a photograph with the camera of uncle harry's grave yeah very sad definitely
34:47when did he acquire the camera we believe he acquired it in north africa it could well
34:54have been with him through all the major battles in africa i know he went through monte cassino as
34:58well which is one of the bloodiest battles of world war ii and it survived it's just absolutely
35:04unbelievable it must have been really hard for your grandfather to have seen so much
35:09and then to come back to kind of normality when he was quiet we left him to be quiet but
35:15then when
35:16he was engaging he was just the greatest i mean he was an engineer he could build anything so as
35:24kids we were in the local tip we'd come home with bike parts wheels of prams and we'd go back
35:29two or
35:30three days later and there'd be a gold cart made right there'd be a bike made he was just brilliant
35:35at
35:35that so what exactly happened to the camera it went from its war life to becoming a family camera
35:43mainly nan thereafter so when we'd all go on a family holiday to north wales on the beach the camera
35:49was always there and she was clicking away from family holidays weddings christenings basically it
35:57was my nan's second handbag because she always had it with her always so the camera and the case are
36:03a real strong link to both your grandparents yeah it means a great deal to me it's gone through all
36:08the sadness the joys the happiness and i just want it to come back to life again charlie this
36:16is charlie as well are you named after your great grandfather yes oh that's lovely yeah it's a great
36:21name and i think we both have a passion for photography in the same way which is a really
36:26yeah great connection charlie's a professional photographer and to me to have the camera do a
36:32full circle go from charlie back to charlie i think would be fantastic it's beautiful and very different
36:40to anything i use these days what's wrong with the camera it doesn't work you can see mold and rusted
36:46actually going on the chrome and the inside i know it's certainly very dirty in there so there might be
36:52some sand hidden inside still yeah there could well be it's a very special item and i really would
36:59love it to spring back to life i'll give it my best shot for you lovely i'll see you soon
37:04thank you
37:04bye-bye now it looks relatively decent on the outside they always do wait to get inside i'll leave you
37:24with it thank you there are a few things which are concerning me i can already see if i engage
37:30the
37:31shutter and fire it it's sticking and that's a huge problem without that opening up and letting light in
37:37it won't be able to capture an image i can see this fungus and haze in the lens it can
37:43scar the
37:44optic and if it scars the optic the images will come up blurry so i want to make sure that
37:49comes
37:49apart and we take a proper look david mentioned there was mold which i can see on top of the
37:54camera
37:55i want to make sure to remove this because this is the viewfinder and it comes in rather handy when
37:59you're trying to take a picture david always saw his nan with the case so i want to make sure
38:04that this
38:05gets the love and care it needs too and i think it's a job for dean first thing i need
38:10to do is take
38:11the shutter unit apart so i can really see what's going on
38:26under julie and amanda's care the teddy hailing from the rock and roll era is set to regain some of
38:33his original dapper looks i'm just currently stitching paw pads in place i've got the leg turned
38:43inside out the paw pad has to be stitched in from the reverse so that when i turn it through
38:49the right
38:49way you'll see the new bright red paw pad hopefully tidily stitched in right
39:02it's got to gently turn it through i don't want to push or pull too hard
39:09there we go amanda's done such a good job with these paw pads
39:15and i'm thrilled at the blackness of the black and the red against the black is striking
39:22i want to see those black ears against the white look at that
39:29i've just got this one arm left to do once i've done that i can actually start stuffing and rejoining
39:50these limbs
39:50piero is investigating why the shutter mechanism of the old camera is malfunctioning
39:57these blades open to let light in till i take a picture and then close again
40:02i'm just going to remove the casing from the shutter
40:06there's the blades i just want to take a closer look check the other side
40:13yeah there you go it may only look faint but you can see the darker markings
40:19just debris and basically oil which would have been causing the shutter to jam
40:25i'm using the chemical which will break down the old grease starting with the main casing
40:31because when oil gets on the blades it acts like glue
40:36to finish it off just give it a good scrub with the toothbrush
40:41yeah there you go
40:46i'm going to just clean the shutter blades next the debris on the blades would have worked its way
40:51in just through time so there could have been sand from africa or any bit of dirt and dust over
40:55the
40:55whole of its lifetime
40:59look how much cleaner that is now all right that's one
41:04pop that back in there you go it's one on do the same with the other one
41:19right there the blades in they're all in nicely
41:26they're moving really freely no sticking no bumps it just feel perfect
41:32next step is clean the rest of the shutter components put it all back together and give it a test
41:39so
41:53i've re-lubricated everything and it's all going smoothly
41:56but until i put it through the tester i'm not going to know whether it's actually working
42:01the shutter is incredibly important because it allows you to expose the image correctly
42:06if it's open too long it'll basically come out pure white if it's too short everything will be
42:11incredibly dark so this is key that it needs to be spot on this machine is able to calculate the
42:16shutter speed in milliseconds by using light which travels through the shutter when it opens
42:22to then hit the sensor underneath and then this will record how quickly the shutter is open and
42:28closed so if it's dark indoors and you need a lot more light you use 125th which means the shutter
42:34stays open longer letting more light through so i'm hoping to see on the machine around
42:3840 milliseconds which equates to 1 25th of a second hold it up close fire it off
42:46those numbers are looking great now to try the 1 100th i would use this speed when it's really sunny
42:52outside and you really want to reduce how much light is coming through that shutter and we're looking
42:57for speeds around 10 milliseconds not bad for a 90-odd year old camera i feel really confident in the
43:08shutter that it'll be able to provide charlie with the correct exposures and he'll be able to use it
43:18professionally sometimes i think it's ridiculous like i'm a grown-up and i'm playing with plasticine
43:23you could have a little creche corner oh thank you okay what do i do with it what do you
43:28mean did you
43:29not do plasticine as a child sort of no what do i can i roll yeah just warm it in
43:36your hands and then
43:37you can create chris angelina is turning up the heat in preparation for filling the losses on the
43:56fishing chart i've toasted some cellulose powder which is like powdered paper and that process makes
44:06it turn a little bit darker it's like toasting bread kind of smells really good as well that
44:10will help them blend in much nicer and then i will be able to retouch if necessary those small areas
44:20well this is looking great so far um i'll just continue working through the rest of the areas
44:26just making sure that everything is nice and even ready for jamie and gainer to see i am so excited
44:32i can't wait to see their reactions this chart was essential to celebrated grimsby skipper paddy mccarthy
44:40as he fished the north sea but eight decades and the rigors of maritime life
44:46had left it creased fragile and missing a section
44:52i'm glad we had enough fabric for this yeah just about i know gainer and her husband jamie
44:59are hoping this symbol of her father has been preserved welcome back welcome back come on in thank you
45:07how are you both uh nervous and excited i know it's just a chart but it's my dad's chart and
45:14he kept it
45:15for a reason and for me that's for me to keep it and look after it do you want to
45:20take a look yes please
45:27oh my god that's amazing absolutely yeah it's fantastic and you've done the bottom corner as well
45:36that's brilliant it's all hand painted fantastic thank you so much that is absolutely amazing
45:44oh i love it it's just beautiful it really does feel like a beautiful tribute yes for your father
45:53but also to the fishing community very much so it puts a different slant on things that we use every
45:59day yes um that how beautiful they can be yeah when they're looked after and restored amazingly thank you
46:07part of me wants to sort of cry but i can't because my dad always said see joy and everything
46:13and
46:14that's what i see i just see him smiling at me smiling at it i love it that's nice that's
46:19a lovely
46:19sentiment it's lovely and he's done a beautiful job i can't thank her enough it's my dad's legacy
46:27i think and to celebrate his life and his work that i can continue to look at and um and
46:35cherish
46:51piero is turning his attention to the lens of the old camera
46:54which is showing all the signs of its many travels first thing i need to address is this
47:00fungus and haze because it can leave scar into the optic and it can damage the image quality
47:06it's not like normal glass it has a single coating to it and this coating is really soft
47:11i need to use a chemical which will essentially kill the fungus spores and remove it believe it or
47:18not even when cleaning with a cotton bud very lightly any tiny bit of dirt underneath the cotton
47:23bud can then lead to scratching the optic so i have to be really really careful
47:30it went from north africa of all the sand there to wales on the beach and more sand
47:35and the fluctuation in temperature all leads to fungus growth
47:42that's cleaned up really well
47:53piero's repairs are progressing nicely but the camera's battered case requires dean's leather work
48:00skills hi dean hello i've got this case but it's got a broken strap and it's just a bit worse
48:06for
48:06wear yes it isn't it if you leave it with me i'll see what i can do with it perfect
48:11thank you
48:15it is a lovely case it's been hand stitched from what i can see
48:19the only main damage i can see on it really is the strap is actually twisted it doesn't sit properly
48:25and over time that's created a weakness there that has split it at the rivet the first thing i need
48:32to
48:32do is remove that rivet i'm going to use my pincers and the stem will bend enough that i can
48:38peel it out
48:43to repair this so i don't have to remove too much of the strap i'm going to cut
48:47as close as i possibly can to the back of that original slip i can get a hole through that
48:55and get
48:56the rivet in a little bit of extra force in twist it to ensure a clean cut and i've got
49:06myself a hole there
49:09take my new rivet and just pull that through when i hammer it it'll lock everything together
49:22that is now locked in and the straps it's nice and straight i'm happy with that all there is for
49:30me to do now is to give this a really good clean and then i can get it back to
49:34piero
49:41did you ever have a film camera i did yes single lens reflex and the older style as well nice
49:46from
49:47the 1930s yeah well not quite that far back

53:39because i've dismantled everything fully it all needs recalibrating and resetting
53:44so i'm using the ground piece of glass on the back which allows me to see the image coming through
53:49the
53:49lens to focus the lens i'm moving the front optic backwards and forwards ever so slightly
53:56in order to make sure that tree is nice and sharp once this is in focus i'll pop the lens
54:02ring on
54:02send it to infinity and that's good to go
