Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

The mechanical mind of Steve Fletcher is put to the test by some vintage grocer鈥檚 scales, brought in by Tamzin Grayson-Gaunt from Nottingham. Once used by her father, this heirloom is no longer in working order. Steve dismantles the inner workings and blitzes all the rust and grime, while clock-dial restorer Cindy Welland tackles the flaking paint and carefully replaces the missing digits. The instrument is reassembled, calibrated and given a new lease of life.

Derek Lee from Stockport brings in an art deco leather handbag for leather expert Susie Fletcher and silversmith Brenton West to work on. Derek was just two years old when he lost his mum and his only connection to her is through this bag, which she once owned, and the precious photos kept inside it. Susie breathes life back into the worn-out leather and creates a new shoulder strap to replace the original one that went missing long ago, while Brenton turns his attention to straightening and polishing the metal frame.

Woodwork expert Will Kirk undertakes the repair of an ornamental Egyptian table, a piece of Sarah Thomas and her dad Ray's family history. The brass-topped folding table was brought back by Sarah's grandfather from north Africa, where he lived as a child. The engraved brass is dull and tarnished, and many of the ornate wooden carvings that comprise the base and legs have been crushed to pieces, so Will spends hours recreating the elaborate fretwork.
