Cigar Box Ukulele
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Metal maestro Dominic Chinea is blown away by a prewar ride-on toy aeroplane that has been grounded for decades. Owner Charlotte is hoping to restore her grandpa's vintage toy for her own daughter Phoebe to enjoy. Rusty and in pieces, getting the plane fit for piloting again is going to be a mammoth job for Dom. Luthier Julyan Wallis is tasked with reviving a make-do-and-mend ukulele fashioned from an old cigar box. This hand-crafted instrument was made by owner Kate's father in the 1920s and was played at family gatherings throughout her childhood. And ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsey works wonders on a collection of badly broken zoo animals made from wood pulp.
