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.
13:25I know.
13:42arriving from somerset jane james and a lifelong companion he needs help from the queens of all
13:50things cuddly julie and amanda hello hello oh welcome to the barn thank you very much
13:58this is my bear my mum gave me the bear when i was born and i was probably half his
14:08size
14:08i don't remember a time without him what is your mum's name my mum's name's betty she was a ward
14:16sister at st martin's hospital in bath in the 1960s and at that time eddie cochran was in an accident
14:26in a car the eddie cochran the eddie cochran the famous rock and roll singer oh my goodness
14:32he was 21 in the car was himself his girlfriend called sharon shealy and jean vincent and mum's
14:42hospital was the nearest hospital eddie cochran arrived and died at her hospital wow and jean
14:49vincent survived yeah sharon had a fractured pelvis and was admitted to my mum's ward and not many
14:57people have heard about her but she was one of the first american female songwriters for rock and
15:03roll gosh she would have been in the hospital for quite a long time because at that time you would
15:10have been on bed rest your mum must have forged quite a strong relationship with sharon definitely
15:16because my mum got to know her patients really well and although she was a star in her own right
15:24and obviously her boyfriend was a very international star she was always a patient to my mum and i'm
15:32presuming that sharon would have had a lot of visitors she certainly had billy fury coming to see
15:37her and this teddy bear was given to her by him oh my goodness my mum tells me that she
15:43was pregnant
15:44with me and sharon shealy gave this teddy bear to my mum to give to me right maybe it was
15:54a token of
15:55her thanks for the care on the ward what was it like growing up with a mum that was a
16:00nurse very
16:01practical but very loving very caring she was always a nurse till she retired at 60. is your mum still
16:11with
16:11us mum's 93 oh wow and very frail but can still talk about these days on the ward this was
16:21a precious
16:22item given to her yeah and he was part of me from day one of being a baby which is
16:30why he looks so
16:31threadbare because he's been he's been loved look at the colour he was exactly beautiful so his pores were
16:38red bright red kind of quite velvety yeah i do think his head's about to fall off as well he's
16:45got
16:45a look like the age that he is but i'd like to give him a bit of a makeover he's
16:5264 years old and i'd
16:54like him to be preserved for my children my mum had great stories of her nursing career but this one
17:01i think
17:01is a special story and will you take him to see your mum oh yes she'll absolutely love it we're
17:08going to look forward to doing this aren't we thank you very much you take care okay bye
17:15what an amazing story eddie cochran eddie cochran come on
17:28all this area here is where it's unstuffed so he can't support himself anymore a certain size and
17:35gravity takes over and everything drops now how he feels
17:42the pause she says she remembers them being sort of velvety
17:46what do you think about his arms and legs and his ears we mustn't forget his ears this looks very
17:55threadbare but it just wouldn't be right to put fur back on there no how do you feel
18:00about popping these into some black dye oh oh there's a thought if these are more black this
18:08will look brighter i don't think you'll notice the bald areas as much
18:14i reckon we need to make a start then absolutely
18:25this wood wall is actually in quite good condition the trouble is it dries out doesn't
18:30it so as soon as we start moving it it breaks down oh yes we definitely have to replace it
18:35when we
18:35come to restuff him
18:43angelina's gentle cleaning of the fishing chart has preserved its weather-beaten character but also
18:49spruced it up it's already looking much fresher and feels much softer however there's all of these
18:58liftings of the paper on all of the areas where the chart was folded so these need to be laid
19:06flat and
19:07then glued down and i am using a wet blotting paper
19:13to very lightly humidify those areas by using the weight the water is slowly going to go into the fibers
19:23and allow them to relax
19:28but there's so so many of them it's sort of like a production line it's going to take a while
19:37but it's
19:37so going to be worth it so once everything is nice and humidified then i can get them adhered back
19:44into
20:00position
20:02well now that everything is
20:05as flat as flat as possible and the paper feels nice and supple i will introduce my adhesive
20:14this is methyl cellulose and 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 just to push those areas down and 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 both arms in place but when you look at them now they have a sort of sharp angular edge
21:14not very comfy to put your arm on and not really in keeping with the original design
21:18so i'm going to use my chisel and my files now to slowly smooth off those edges shape them in
21:24make
21:24everything look like it was never damaged in the first place
21:28so
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
22:20some parts it's just rotten through i'm going to cut out that main bit of damage and piece in a
22:25new bit
22:26of wood let's get sorry
22:45the teddy bear with the rock and roll pedigree has been dismantled and washed in readiness for the next
22:52phase rejuvenating his original fur i'm going to try and dye these pieces of black fabric we definitely
23:01wouldn't try and replace the fur jane did say that she'd really like him to look brighter but without
23:08changing him although there are quite a few balding areas it's still strong so i want to see if we
23:16can
23:16get these nice and black again i think it's going to make a huge difference
23:27i'm starting to make new paw pads for bear we've gone for a really short pile lovely cotton velvet
23:36i'm just going to pin the original paw pads onto my fabric like this and then i can draw around
23:42get a really good fit these are really going to smarten him up and make him look really nice again
24:09what are you doing mate i'm dying 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 now the paper and
25:13textile 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 have
25:49and prepare it so it will be nice and evenly distributed on the back and not create like a big
25:56ugly patch so
25:58um what i'll do is i'll just cut the textile around the overlap there we go
26:11i'll use my very sharp very pointy tweezers and just gonna pull bit by bit those fibers
26:21it'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
26:43both of them together and i will have my infill
26:46so
27:13the bottom corner infill is looking amazing i found an identical fishing chart so i've had this
27:22printed onto tracing paper which will allow me to follow their design in order to match the two images
27:30together all i have to do is just trace the lines on the back with a really soft pencil then
27:37i will turn
27:38the page around trace all of the lines again and the lead that i have deposited on the back will
27:46transfer
27:46onto my paper this way i will have the right information right in front of me to then retouch
28:21i am now starting 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
28:41about one and a half millimeters tall so this is so so small this is very very difficult
28:51i think this is going to be a great ride uh but my eyes are going to hurt by the
28:56end of it
29:16well the back's on and all the woodwork is finished as well but at the moment it looks very pale
29:21very
29:21light where it should have a nice rich teak color so i'm going to help this along by adding some
29:27teak
29:27stain now this is a sort of ready brownie color it's just an enhancement really oh yes
29:38lovely
29:44that is a beautiful arm the wedge is lighter than the surrounding wood when i've stained everything
29:52i might add some pigments and blend that in further once i've finished staining the bench i'm going to
29:59seal it with a coat of oil which is suitable to go outside and then this can go back outside
30:04christine's
30:05house she can sit on the bench much like she did when she spent those days with gordon
30:14this garden bench was a treasured christmas gift to christine from her late husband gordon
30:20but years spent outside had left it badly damaged christine is hoping it can once again be a special place
30:30to sit
30:35hi christine lovely to see you again are you excited yeah i can't believe i'm here i feel as if
30:43somebody's going to pinch me i'm going to wake up it's just quite emotional uh for me but i'll be

30:55of
30:55present is a big reflection on the kind of person that gordon was yes he always said things would last

32:36well leave it with me and i'll get it back oh that's amazing thank you i'll give you a hug
32:43thank
32:43you so much thank you thank you thanks christine thank you bye-bye
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
33:14i can't wait to get it home
33:37david birch has traveled to the barn from lancashire with his son charlie their mission
33:43is 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 yeah in 1938 he joined the royal engineers when the british had to evacuate france
34:15came out through dunkirk and then was sent through to north africa where he fought with montgomery
34:21the 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
34:40he took a photograph with the camera of uncle harry's grave yeah very sad definitely when did he acquire
34:48the camera we believe he acquired it in north africa it could well have been with him through all the
34:55major battles in africa i know he went through monte cassino as well which is one of the bloodiest
35:00battles of world war ii and it survived it's just absolutely unbelievable it must have been really hard
35:06your grandfather to have seen so much and then to come back to kind of normality when he was quiet
35:13we left him to be quiet but then when he was engaging he was just the greatest i mean he
35:20was an
35:21engineer he could build anything so as kids we were in the local tip we'd come home with bike parts
35:27wheels of prams and we'd go back two or three days later and there'd be a gold cart made right
35:33there'd be
35:33a bike made he was just brilliant at that so what exactly happened to the camera it went from its
35:39war
35:40life to becoming a family camera uh mainly nan thereafter so when we'd all go on a family holiday
35:47to north wales on the beach the camera was always there and she was clicking away from family holidays
35:54weddings christenings basically it was my nan's second handbag because she always had it with her
36:01always so the camera and the case are a real strong link to both your grandparents yeah it means a
36:06great deal to me it's gone through all the sadness the joys the happiness and i just want it to
36:13come
36:13back to life again uh charlie this is charlie as well are you named after your great grandfather yes oh
36:19that's lovely yeah it's a great name and i think we both have a passion for photography in the same
36:25way
36:25which is a really yeah great connection charlie's a professional photographer and to me to have the
36:32camera do a full circle go from charlie back to charlie i think would be fantastic it's beautiful and
36:39very different to anything i use these days what's wrong with the camera it doesn't work you can see
36:45mold and rust is actually going on the chrome and the inside i know it's certainly very dirty in there
36:51so there might be some sand hidden inside still yeah there could well be it's a very special item
36:57and i really would love it to spring back to life i'll give it my best shot for you lovely
37:03we'll see you soon thank you thank you thank you bye-bye
37:09now it looks relatively decent on the outside they always do wait to get inside i'll leave you with it
37:14thank you there are a few things which are concerning me i can already see if i engage the shutter
37:31and
37:31fire it it's sticking and that's a huge problem without that opening up and letting light in it won't
37:38be able to capture an image i can see this fungus and haze in the lens it can scar the
37:44optic
37:44and if it scars the optic the images will come up blurry so i want to make sure that comes
37:49apart
37:50and we take a proper look david mentioned there was mold which i can see on top of the camera
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
38:05this gets the love and care it needs too and i think it's a job for dean first thing i
38:10need to do
38:10is take the 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
38:33of his original dapper looks i'm just currently stitching paw pads in place i've got the leg
38:42turned inside out the paw pad has to be stitched in from the reverse so that when i turn it
38:49through
38:49the right way 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 and i'm thrilled at the blackness of
39:17the
39:17black and the red against the black is striking i want to see those black ears against the white look
39:26at
39:27that i've just got this one arm left to do once i've done that i can actually start stuffing and
39:35rejointing these limbs piero is investigating why the shutter mechanism of the old camera is
39:55malfunctioning these blades open till they light in till they 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 a chemical which will break down the old grease starting with the main casing
40:32when oil gets on the blades it acts like glue
40:36to finish it off just give it a good scrub with the toothbrush yeah there you go
40:46i'm gonna just clean the shutter blades next the debris on the blade would have worked its way in
40:51just through time so there could have been sand from africa or any bit of dirt and dust over the
40:55whole of
40:56its lifetime look how much cleaner that is now all right that's one pop that back in there you go
41:06it's one on do the same with the other one
41:19right there's the blades in they're all in nicely
41:25they'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
41:53i've re-lubricated everything and it's all going smoothly but until i put it through the tester i'm not
41:59going to know whether it's actually working the shutter is incredibly important because it allows
42:04you to expose the image correctly if it's open too long it'll basically come out pure white
42:09if it's too short everything will be incredibly dark so this is key that it needs to be spot on
42:15this machine is able to calculate the shutter speed in milliseconds by using light which travels through
42:20the shutter when it opens to then hit the sensor underneath and then this will record
42:25how quickly the shutter is open and closed so if it's dark indoors and you need a lot more light
42:32you use 125th which means the shutter stays open longer letting more light through so i'm hoping to
42:37see on the machine around 40 milliseconds which equates to 125th of a second hold it up close fire it
42:45off
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 professionally
43:19sometimes 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 will
44:11help 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 just
44:26making sure that everything is nice and even ready for jamie and gainer to see i am so excited i
44:32can't
44:32wait to see their reactions this chart was essential to celebrated grimsby skipper paddy mccarthy as he
44:41fished the north sea but eight decades and the rigors of maritime life had left it creased fragile and
44:49missing a section i'm glad we had enough fabric for this yeah just about i know gainer and her husband
44:59jamie are hoping this symbol of her father has been preserved welcome back welcome back come on in
45:06thank you how are you both uh nervous and excited i know it's just a chart but it's my dad's
45:13chart
45:14and he kept it for a reason and for me that's for me to keep it and look after it
45:20do you want to take
45:21a look yes please please yeah go on then oh my god that's amazing absolutely yeah it's fantastic
45:34you've done the bottom corner as well that's brilliant
45:39it'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 in everything
46:13and that's
46:14what i see i just see him smiling at me smiling at it i love it that's nice it's a
46:19lovely sentiment it's
46:20lovely and he's done a beautiful job i can't thank her enough it's my dad's legacy i think and to
46:29celebrate his life and his work that i can continue to look at and um and cherish
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 fungus and
47:01haze because it can leave scar into the optic and it can damage the image quality it's not like normal
47:07glass it has a single coating to it and this coating is really soft i need to use a chemical
47:13which will
47:13essentially kill the fungus spores and remove it believe it or not even when cleaning with a cotton
47:20bud very lightly any tiny bit of dirt underneath the cotton bud can then lead to
47:24scratching 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 wear
48:06yes isn't it if you leave it with me i'll see what i can do with it perfect thank you
48:15it is a lovely case it's been hand stitched from what i can see the only main damage i can
48:20see on it
48:21really is the strap is actually twisted it doesn't sit properly and over time that's created a weakness
48:28there that has split it at the rivet the first thing i need to do is remove that rivet i'm
48:34going to use my
48:35pincers and the stem will bend enough that i can peel it out
48:43to repair this so i don't have to remove too much of the strap i'm going to cut as close
48:48as i possibly can
48:50to the back of that original slip i can get a hole through that and get the rivet in a
48:59little bit
48:59of extra force in twist it to ensure a clean cut and i've got myself a hole there take my
49:09new rivet
49:10and just pull that through when i hammer it 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
49:30to do now is to give this a really good clean and then i can get it back to piero
49:41did you ever have a film camera i did yes single lens reflex and the older style as well nice
49:46from
49:461930s yeah well not quite that far back

53:30with the old cameras components all thoroughly overhauled and tested piero has one final task
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
53:49through the lens to focus the lens i'm moving the front optic backwards and forwards ever so
53:55slightly in order to make sure that tree is nice and sharp once this is in focus i'll pop the
54:02lens
54:02ring on send it to infinity and that's good to go
