York Minster is one of our most magnificent cathedrals, boasting the world's largest expanse of medieval stained glass. But the stonework of this glorious gothic monument is crumbling away on a daily basis. Will and Dom join the new generation of stonemasons being trained to save it, harnessing modern technology while still using centuries-old skills. Will's Yorkshire odyssey continues in Cawthorne, where Elwin presents him with a huge drum that has been owned by the local marching band since the 1850s. The damaged paintwork, ill-fitting skins and loose cords aren't befitting such a magnificent instrument, so percussion expert Pete Woods takes on the mammoth task of getting it back into a playable condition. Dom heads further south through God's Own Country to visit occasional Repair Shop expert Jonathan Reid in his Sheffield workshop. Here the master putter, or scissor-maker, is keeping the endangered craft of making scissors by hand alive, and he's eager to share some secrets of the trade with his fellow craftsman.
