Opening a Mysterious 150-Year-Old RNLI Collection Box | Season 5 Episode 25 | The Repair Shop

📺 Subscribe 👉 https://bit.ly/TheRepairShopTV Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Jay and Will Kirk team up to restore a piece of furniture when sisters Linda Atkinson and Pauline Murphy from Merseyside arrive, with their mother's pride and joy. The chair that was created for the investiture ceremony of the Prince of Wales. It was one of four thousand made and later auctioned off to the general public. Linda and Pauline's patriotic 93 year old mum bought the chair but permitted no one to sit in it. Her husband was less keen on this national treasure and after a while it was consigned to the garage, where it deteriorated. The sisters would love the team to restore its stately appearance for their dear mum. Jay and Will spring into action. Will strips the faded original paint, colour matches the perfect shade and reinstates the regal red. Jay reupholsters and upgrades the seat cushion and when the sisters return, Jay is granted approval from Joan herself to take a seat in the finished product. Mechanical expert Steve Fletcher is in for a treat when he takes receipt of an air powered toy car. Pam Carter from Cumbria brings along this unusual and much-cherished vintage toy that has run out of puff. The little car belonged to her father, who recently passed away. She was very close to him - as a girl she spent lots of time in his company, as his able assistant in the garden. Pam was entrusted by her dad to get his beloved toy repaired and she is determined to do so. It's come to a grinding halt, the wheels are rather wonky and it needs a full MOT. This is a first for Steve and after much head scratching, he finds an inventive fix to get it going again. Finally metal expert Dom Chinea takes on a salvaged donation box. Martin Brockman and Elaine Trethowan from Penlee in Cornwall are volunteers for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and have a relic they love to be resurrected. At over 150 years old and weighing over a tonne it's a huge undertaking. What's more it's riddled with rust and hasn't been opened since who knows when. They'd love to reinstate the box at their lifeboat station so it can collect donations from passers by, as it did decades ago. Dom's first task on this rescue mission is to crack open the sealed up door, used to retrieve the coins inside, which is easier said than done. It's then sandblasted to rid it of the rust and copious layers of old paint, ready for Dom to ensure it looks splendid and ready to stand proud, helping fund the heroic work of the lifeboat men and women.
