The team take on a pair of boxing gloves, a shattered ostrich egg cigarette box and a toy bike gifted by comedians Laurel and Hardy.

Master saddler Suzie Fletcher rescues a pair of tired and torn boxing gloves that once belonged to the owner Andy鈥檚 uncle, who died tragically as a young man. Andy is keen to have the precious keepsakes restored for his father as a surprise.

Natural history conservator Simon Moore is faced with a huge challenge when he takes receipt of an unusual cigarette box, crafted from an ostrich egg shell. It was a gift given to owner Trevor鈥檚 grandfather during the Second World War, when he was stationed in the Far East.

And metalworker Dom is delighted to work on a 1950s toy bike that was gifted to the owner鈥檚 brother by none other than Laurel and Hardy during a performance in their home town.
