Episode 16— Hundred-Year-Plus Nursing Chair

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First to arrive is a dilapidated nursing chair dating back over 100 years. The button-back antique reminds owner James of the wonderful times he spent with his grandmother and mother as a child. Wood expert Will Kirk and upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary join forces to resurrect not only James's precious chair but also his cherished childhood memories. Leather expert Suzie Fletcher's expertise is called upon to repair a 1950s helmet that belonged to a brave firefighter who witnessed one of Wales's most devastating disasters. Restoring this hero's helmet to its former glory proves an immensely touching tribute for his devoted daughter Janet. And metal expert Dominic Chinea undertakes the repair of a vintage coffee grinder that takes owner Sergio back to summers spent with his grandparents in Italy.
