The Pogo Stick Mum Never Saw - Dom Restores Dan's Rusted Gift

He bought a pogo stick for his mum at nine. She never got to see it. Decades later, Dom fights rust to bring Dan's lost gift - and the memories - back to life. Inside the barn, a jumble-sale pogo stick emerges from a solid mass of corrosion as Dom carefully uses electrolysis, hidden welds, and a rediscovered transfer to chase the original red-and-yellow finish. Meanwhile, Will Kirk takes on a family crib from 1976 for solo mum Nicky, transforming it to a clean white to match a nursery filled with elephants. And bookbinder Chris Shaw attempts an “invisible re-back” on a fragile cookbook, Dainty Dishes for an Indian Table, linking a family story that winds from Burma to India to Britain — and an egg curry recipe waiting to be cooked again. Three heirlooms. Three lives. One workshop bringing history back into the present. Watch to see what they uncover, how they solve the tricky bits, and why these finishes matter far beyond the surface. #TheRepairShop #PogoStick #Restoration #FamilyHeirloom #Bookbinding #Electrolysis #WillKirk
