First, master saddler Suzie Fletcher is excited to tackle a mid-19th century ladies side saddle bought in Texas by owner Sara. Having lived a cowboy lifestyle in her youth, Sara is surprised to learn that Suzie also spent time on ranches. The bond formed between the two ladies makes this a very special repair for both Suzie and Sara. Stained glass expert Matt Nickels and wood whizz Will Kirk join forces to fix a smashed-up stained glass window that reminds its owner of wonderful times spent with his late Granda who triggered a lifetime's love of history. And metal man Dominic Chinea takes on a thorny equine problem – a worn out vintage carousel horse called Edward – with the help of Will. Edward is the very treasured companion of Kate Horncastle. He is the centre piece of her sensory therapy garden at home which helps Kate with her autism and epilepsy. But the years outside in the garden haven't been kind to Edward and he's in need of a complete overhaul from the metal and wood dynamic duo.
