Episode overview
The team takes on a well-traveled leather case, a fantastic homemade telescope built from scrap metal and a century old decorative bowl that survived the Nazis. Suzie and Lucia make a start on the leather briefcase. Richard and Dom make a start on the scrapyard telescope. Meanwhile Kirsten takes on the jigsaw of the bowl smashed by the Nazis (and the cat). Suzie repairs and restores the leather work on the old case while Lucia refreshes the lettering on it. Dom tackles the metalwork and mechanics of the telescope.
