First, Victoria Finn is hoping Pete Woods and Suzie Fletcher can restore her daughter Isobella's grandad's clarinet and case. Eleven-year-old Isobella has waited half her lifetime to learn the instrument but wanted to be taught on her late grandfather's instrument. After a meticulous makeover and a pitch perfect performance by Pete, Isabella is delighted with her revamped instrument. Suzanne Payne is hopeful that horologist Steve Fletcher and wood restorer Will Kirk can help her to complete a true labour of love for three men in her family. She brings the beginnings of a grandfather clock, that was first embarked upon by her father, who loved tinkering with clocks. He intended to gift the finished clock to Suzanne's father-in-law but sadly both men passed away before it's completion and the project was then taken on by Suzanne's husband Ian, who began work on a wooden housing. Tragically Ian passed away several years ago and now Suzanne is determined to see the project to fruition, as a tribute to the wonderful men, that meant the world to her. And farmer Simon is hoping to see his grandfather's fiddle drill back in action once again. The vintage seed-sower has seen better days but with the joint craftsmanship of metal and leather experts Dominic Chinea and Suzie Fletcher the unusual drill is finally in fine fettle once more.
