In this episode, the experts lend their skills to a community project, hear the story behind a new treasure to be repaired and visit a local crafting hero. York Minster is one of our most magnificent cathedrals, boasting the world's largest expanse of medieval stained glass. But the stonework of this glorious gothic monument is crumbling away on a daily basis. Will and Dom join the new generation of stonemasons being trained to save it, harnessing modern technology while still using centuries-old skills. Will's Yorkshire odyssey continues in Cawthorne, where Elwin presents him with a huge drum that has been owned by the local marching band since the 1850s. The damaged paintwork, ill-fitting skins and loose cords aren't befitting such a magnificent instrument, so percussion expert Pete Woods takes on the mammoth task of getting it back into a playable condition. Dom heads further south through God's Own Country to visit occasional Repair Shop expert Jonathan Reid in his Sheffield workshop. Here the master putter, or scissor-maker, is keeping the endangered craft of making scissors by hand alive, and he's eager to share some secrets of the trade with his fellow craftsman.
