Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 2, Episode 15 - Episode #2.15 - full transcript
Ha, hey!
The homes of Britain are
stacked with old possessions.
Hmm, now I've got my first item.
What looks like junk can actually be
worth a pretty penny.
I've just got a little bit excited.
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for a while.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that clutter
into hard cash.
We're going to get great
money for 'em.
For Henry and his mechanic...
Don't think you should be
looking at that, mate.
...they'll fettle metal
and restore old furniture.
Well, that's looking great, eh?
Whilst upcycling genius Simon and
his restorer love turning everyday
objects into fantastic furniture.
Wow, that's perfect!
But look, feast your eyes!
I reckon you've done great things.
Can we go in the fire engine?
Yes, you can, little Simon!
They may have different tastes,
but they'll always make the old
turn to gold.
Going back with you, Alan, is
£6,380, if that's all right...
What am I going to do with all that?
On today's show,
Simon's a little under the weather.
What's wrong with you?
I'm feeling a little pail.
THEY LAUGH
Henry's taking no chances.
Syringes and spread.
Just turn around a sec.
I'm not... I ain't turning around
with that, mate!
And a straight talking
at the valuation.
It's just a petrol can.
SHE AND SIMON LAUGH
Welcome to my club!
Hey, my friend Robert
lives around here.
Cleobury Mortimer, cos that's
pronounced "clear-bury",
but actually spelled "Cleo-bury",
C-L-E-O.
But the locals call it "clid-bury".
You're so interesting.
Today, Henry and Simon are in the
ever-so-fascinating market town of
Cleobury Mortimer,
which is one of the smallest towns
in the whole of Shropshire.
Simon's choice of rummage location
today is the home of Allison Garber,
who's joined by her friend Amy.
We're going to see a lovely lady
called Allison, in her family home,
and I am telling you,
the barns and sheds she has
around the place are full
of beautiful,
beautiful knick-knacks.
My parents lived here originally
and Dad was a great collector,
he collected everything.
AMY: There's a lot of
old farm implements,
and there's a lot of,
like, cabinets, things like that.
These things can sometimes be
forgotten and just left behind,
and to see them sort of revived and
brought back to life is fabulous.
Allie, how are you? Hello.
Amy, how are you?
Hello, Allie, I'm Henry.
How are you?
Hi Amy, I'm Henry, lovely to see
you! And you, and you.
Guys, how long have you been here?
Um, Mum and Dad originally moved
here in 1966,
so I was about six months old
when I moved here.
Oh, really, so you've been here ever
since? This is a family home, then?
It is, yeah. It is.
The idea is to invest in the place.
Right, so we're going to declutter
to help you turn your beautiful
family home into its former glory.
Right. Yes, please. OK.
I think we're on. We're on.
Let's go this way.
We'll see you later, girls.
Bye. See you later on! All right.
Oh, mate,
it's a good start, eh?
What do you think? I knew you were
going to like this place.
We walked through the first door,
and in there, we could have had
four items each.
NARRATOR: But first to catch
their eye...
Oh, hang on... ..is an old wooden
glass-fronted notice board.
What is that, a little notice board
for a village hall or something?
Something like that. Huh?
I love it.
Yeah. Look... Ah.
OK. Ah-ha. Well, there needs to be
a little bit of work to it. Yes.
Obviously, something's going on in
there that needs to be sorted,
and probably the hinges
have seen better days.
But we can sort it out, man.
But that's a sweet little thing,
and I'm having it,
I'm not going to argue with you.
OK? All right.
Thank you very much indeed. OK.
I think it's beautiful.
So Henry has got his first item,
which isn't a notice board, but a
small menu board for a restaurant.
Hey, first item to me,
and it's Simon's barn!
Can't get better than that!
And with Simon still needing
to get two objects he
definitely wants to take,
it's time to check out
the second barn.
Man, there's loads of gear here.
Look. Here you go.
Here's a question for you?
What's that?
There's loads of them,
there's more up top.
Looks like you're pressed
for an item, aren't you? Yeah.
They are clamps for holding
large pieces of wood together
when they are being glued.
What do you do with them?
I... Well... I would, well...
I would...
If we turn it upside down...
Oh, I see where you're going.
Yeah. OK. And we, and we put some
wood or something...
And I pretend to have
another one here.
And you pretend to have
another one there. Yeah.
And we got a nice little coffee
table of some sort.
Yeah, man, that's a must.
But you know what, I don't know yet,
but what I do know is
I'm having them.
Do you know why I'm having them?
Cos I've got no idea what they are.
And they're lovely.
When I find something like that,
I have to have it.
And that's Simon's first find,
even though he has no idea what they
are or what to do with them.
So, let's press on.
Press on! Press on, I get where
you're coming from, son, hey.
Cor, wow.
And like buses, no sooner has he got
his first item, than Simon has found
his second.
Those are nice.
I saw those, don't even try. What?
Look! Hands on!
The hands are on!
Oh, I was, I was looking at the
drawers there.
What else have you got? Oh, yeah,
you can look at the drawers.
Yeah, what...?
Cor, look at that!
What do you reckon that was for?
I don't know, it's... Well, look...
An air pump, big air pump for
tractors or something.
No, this is for
spraying something, look.
Henry, best not to ask too many
questions about it.
It's a little... Oh, hang on...
What's on the end?
It says "Dronewall... Yeah.
...syringes and spread".
It's not actually a big old air
pump, it's something, um...
for use on a farm with
animals of some sort.
Blimey, what's that for?
Just turn around a sec.
I'm not, I ain't turning around
with that, mate!
I'll show you exactly
what it's for.
THEY LAUGH
If I was going to turn around now,
that would be really wrong,
wouldn't it?
Yeah. OK, do you think
it is for that?
I think it's for the treatment of
farm animals... Yeah, but...
...in one form or another.
I don't care!
It's beautiful.
I think it'll be amazing.
Cos the fact it's got its
own stand already.
Man, that's lovely.
Just have a lamp or something.
I think I now have my two items.
Will you disinfect that first?
Yeah.
Despite their concerns,
it's actually a weed killer,
designed to penetrate
right to the roots.
So just one more item
to find for Henry.
Oh, mate, hang on.
Just when we thought I was bereft...
Hello.
What do you reckon that is?
It's an old Victorian
radiator cover or something?
Yeah, something like that, isn't it?
Yeah. Hey, nice wooden top.
Sideboard.
I think that'd go well with the
little village hall notice board.
Do you know what I mean,
yin and yang?
You have to take something
that's going to need some work.
Oh, that's so unfair.
This will test you.
So Henry finally has
his second item,
the vintage cast-iron fire surround
that would have stood in front of a
roaring log fire and acted as a form
of radiator.
Hey, have we got two items
or have we got two items?
I think we've definitely
got two items.
Allie and Amy, here we come.
Yeah, come on, let's go.
Let's do it!
Oh, I love that!
Cor, I can't believe it.
Now it's time to find out what
Allison will make
of the lads' choices.
Now, girls, can you tell me about,
is that a cover or a surround
for an old radiator?
I've no idea where it came from,
but it's been here a
good 30, 40 years, so...
OK, until we arrived, yeah... Yes!
...so if it's all right,
I'm going to take that. Yeah.
My second item... Brilliant.
...just a simple little thing that
you often find in places,
but I just want to give it some love
and make it look fantastic.
And I think that would be
really desirable,
hopefully get you some money.
Now, then, my two items.
Without causing too much damage
to them,
I'll keep intrinsically
what they are,
but bring them into
the 21st century.
Now, my second choice... Ah...
...we're going to call it some kind
of agricultural implement.
Air pump. All right. I think
we'll just leave it at that.
So we're going to make you
some proper money,
so you can put it into your lovely
house here. Yeah.
Brilliant. Cheers, girls! See you
in a couple of weeks. Thank you.
OK, all right.
OK, guys. See you later.
Coming up, Simon still hasn't
got a clue.
What's this, then?
No idea.
Henry's up to his old tricks.
That is a petrol can.
I mean, you've got to have it,
haven't you?
And Guy comes up trumps.
GUY: I can turn this winner into
an item that you definitely need...
Right. ..and most households
definitely need.
Expert restorers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are turning the old into gold.
Cor, look at that!
What do you reckon that was for?
They've picked up two items each
from the family farm
belonging to Allison Garbutt.
Simon has returned to his workshop
in Liverpool,
where his expert upcycler, Gemma,
is about to see
what she has to work with.
First, the antique wooden clamps.
Right. What's this, then?
No idea.
The only thing I can think of,
I've been pondering this
all the way home,
is maybe wood.
We've got bitumen here, maybe
gluing pieces of wood together? OK.
If that's that way around... Yeah?
...and we clamp a nice, solid
piece of wood in there,
it's like a little coffee table?
OK.
Or... maybe, is it...
...shelves, with...?
They would be nice shelves,
but is that too obvious,
do you think? Well, you see,
this is the thing. OK. I'll tell you
what we're going to do with these.
We're going to do that...
The most important thing you can do
when you get anything like this,
we're going to give them three coats
of looking at.
Yeah, OK. All right?
And one coat of woodworm treatment,
by the looks of it.
And with enough clamps to go around,
Simon, Gemma and even handyman Phil
will be able to join in today.
We're going to have a little bit of
a challenge on this
and see who can come up
with the better.
Fingers crossed,
it's going to be me,
but I'm going to have to
think outside the box here.
Now for the large
agricultural syringe.
Now, I'm thinking,
if that's attached there... Mm-hm.
...and that is, like,
literally just like that,
we've got brass, we've got iron,
we've got all the elements I think
you need to make a really cool lamp.
In the meantime,
take one of these each,
and let's give these
some thought, eh? Okey doke.
Outside, and as Simon starts giving
his clamps a gentle rub down,
inside, Gemma knows straight away
what she'll do with hers.
Right, so, I'm turning
these brackets...
...into shelves.
They're going to sit on the wall
like that,
and I need this to be able to
go up and down.
So, I think the best way
to do it...
...is to put two holes in there,
put the screws in the wall.
And handyman Phil also knows
what he will do with his -
turn them into a small medicine
cabinet, of course.
That's my centre.
Phil cuts a small piece of plywood
for the door,
which is then covered with a mirror.
Lovely days.
On the other side of the workshop,
and Simon is removing
the rather dangerous needle
from the agricultural syringe
that he hopes will become
a very on-trend lamp.
NEEDLE CLANKS
There you go.
And, under the years
of grime and dirt,
he's revealed
a rather attractive brass nozzle
that will hold the bulb fitting.
That's fantastic, brilliant.
Imagine a...
Like an old industrial cage
with a bulb on the end of that.
This is turning out well.
200 miles away, in Oxfordshire,
and Henry is unveiling his finds to
his restoration guru, Guy Willison.
What do you reckon? That would
open up like that, wouldn't it?
Can I stop you right there?
I have an idea... OK.
...and I can turn this winner
into an item
that you definitely need,
and most households definitely need.
What I would do is
I'd put a load of brass hooks in
and have up here
a metal plate - keys.
And it's a key holder
for all your vehicles.
I think that's a really useful item.
Yeah, all right, done. Yeah, good.
Yeah? Right, next! OK.
OK, now, as they say in the trade,
for something completely different.
What would you have it as?
Come on, mate, let's see
if we're singing off the same...
There's only one thing
to do with it,
and that is, in a lovely big house,
park it up against the wall
with a beautiful wooden top on it,
and then this bottom half repainted.
That's exactly what I think.
It should be a side table
with a lovely, lovely thick,
dark oak top to it. Mm.
OK, so that's what we're
going to do. Happy days? Yes.
Let's get on with it. Yeah.
So, with everyone singing
from the same page,
the fire surround is sent
for a quick sandblast,
whilst Henry and Guy blow away years
of dust and debris
with a compressed air blower...
Let's air line it and get rid of all
the stuff all over it, shall we?
Take your glass off.
That's it. So we're not going to
touch that. No.
...before carefully
prising off the hinges...
Ah!
HE LAUGHS
Don't.
I love it when you hurt yourself.
...and the brass plate.
Well done, mate.
Oh, it is brass. That's lovely.
Look at that. That's great.
So we'll re-use that...
Yes, definitely.
...but you need to stick that
on the mark and clean it.
Yeah, I'll do that. That'll take
two minutes. Shall I do it now?
Yeah, do it now.
Do it now, good lad.
Back in Liverpool,
and Simon is cracking on
with the body of the syringe,
using wet and dry sandpaper
to reveal the lovely brass
under the grime.
And that's as far
as we want to take it back.
We're getting there.
Meanwhile, in Oxfordshire,
Guy is giving the frame
of the key holder
a nice new coat
of shiny black paint.
That's work well under way
on the first set of items.
Now for Henry's choice
of rummage location.
Two suburban sheds
belonging to Penny and Kenny.
I've got all these lovely objects
in my garage and shed
because I'm an inventor, and I can
always find uses for things.
I just think it's clutter.
I'd like to see a lot of it go.
It'd be fabulous if Henry and Simon
could take as much as possible
out of the shed and the garage.
That would just be tremendous.
Now, I admit that Allie's shed
was a treat.
You know it was. It was, mate.
But this one
is going to be a surprise.
No automotive nothing,
no motorcycles,
just good old garden shed rummaging.
Really? Come on. Let's go.
Kenny, Henry. How are you.
Pleased to meet you. Penny?
Hello, nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you. Simon.
Penny, how are you?
Hello, nice to meet you?
HAWK SQUAWKS
Who's that? That's Mordecai.
He's our daughter's Harris hawk.
Your daughter...?
I bought my daughter a cat!
She bought it herself.
Oh, fair enough.
Honestly, you can forgive me
for being distracted.
If we do make you some money,
which on occasion
we are successful...
HE CHUCKLES
...what would you use it for?
The daughter who owns the hawk,
it's her 21st birthday this year,
and she's asked for a party
in the garden.
Did you not get an invite?
I'd like to. You never know.
We could do some old man dancing.
I'm really good at that.
Here we go. Let's dad-dance
over to the sheds.
Shall we do that? See you later,
guys. It's lovely to see you.
We'll see you in a bit. Yeah,
see you in a bit. All right.
As Henry and Simon
dad-dance over to the shed,
they'll keep an eagle eye out
for two items each
that they can fix and flog
for a profit.
I think I could be in Saturday Night
Fever. What do you think? Eh?
You and me? You know, giving it...
You look like a Bee Gee, actually.
A Bee Gee? Yeah, I probably do.
Anyway... Yeah. ..let's look in
here. All right. Whoa.
Ooh, I've seen something.
What? No, what? I'm not even in yet!
That's cheating! There's rather
a lot of stuff, Henry.
Here is an ordinary
little garden shed,
and in there,
there are lovely things.
Everyone has them,
and we found them.
What's that, a kind of...?
A fuse box-type thing.
Could it be a kind
of fuse box, yeah?
You know, you know...
You could turn that into a chaise
longue, couldn't you? Hang on.
Is it Bakelite? I don't know.
It think it's Bakelite.
That's possible.
And it's a... A junction box
or a fuse box,
or something like that.
Simon's picked up
an old Bakelite fuse box
that wouldn't now pass
electrical safety regulations,
and also contains formaldehyde,
which is considered toxic.
Only a maybe, that one.
Just left that one
on the back burner.
What's wrong with you?
I'm feeling a little PAIL.
THEY CHUCKLE
You do sink to some levels,
don't you?
Look at that, that's beautiful!
That's cool, innit?
Hey, man, that'll polish up
or clean up or...
I think it is ali, actually.
It's very light. Yeah.
I want it. All right.
So, immediately,
I get my first item.
Hey, Simon - come on, mate.
What are you up to?
And you got it without
even having to look for it,
an eight-sided aluminium bucket.
What else have you got?
Oh, I've got some of this.
Heavy, heavy, heavy. Hey, hey, mate,
mate, that's serious brass.
Heavy, heavy, heavy.
I'm turning it on my foot.
I've got something else as well.
Blimey, look at that.
What's that? That...
It's a heat exchanger, I think.
What could you do with that?
I don't know.
Sorry, straight away, brass shelf.
Have you ever seen one of those?
Well, listen, I'm having this, so
I'm just going to put that down, OK?
OK.
HEAVY CLANK
You frighten me sometimes.
METALLIC CRASH
Oh!
Hey look, well, that was
a good stash, wasn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, straight away.
Right, shall we carry on?
Yeah, that was lovely.
Come on, then.
So Simon has taken the heavy sheet
of brass as his first item,
and Henry has his bucket.
Hey, mate... Are we going in?
Cor, yeah, I think we are.
Onto the next shed,
the classic garage full of stuff.
This is what they call
in the trade "clutter".
Oh, get your hand down there, bring
that out, you know what I've seen.
That is a petrol can. I mean, you've
got to have it, haven't you?
It's actually an Eversure Fillacan
from the 1950s,
and it's unique for having
a built-in pourer
that couldn't be lost.
Guess what I'm going to turn it
into? Oh hang on, hang on, let me...
It's like your vibe's going.
You'll turn it into... Yeah?
...a petrol can.
How did I know that?
It's a beautiful thing, man!
Hmm? Yeah. But you could do, like...
I'm having it anyway. Yeah.
But I might surprise you,
you never know, mate. Hm?
I will be surprised
if he doesn't just spray it.
So a second item for Henry -
the rusty old petrol can.
We shall see.
However, I am going to surprise
you... With a bit of plumbing?
Ah, that's a little bit of plumbing.
There's bigger plumbing behind you.
Can you pass it out, please?
Oh, cor, blimey...
Are these copper, yeah? Yeah.
Further back in the shed,
which Henry passed out to me,
really, really decent,
large-diameter copper piping.
Can I help you? Yeah.
And in fact, copper piping
of all different shapes and sizes.
There you go.
What are you going to do?
It's obvious what it is!
A bit of plumbing stuff?
It's a shelving unit, isn't it?
I'm done. Got my second item.
Right, come on then.
So that's Simon's second item,
the copper pipes.
And the search is done,
if Kenny and Penny are happy
to let the lads lose on their items.
But what's this?
Is Simon having a change of heart?
Come on, time is money.
No, do you know what?
Come on, come on.
Thoughts are falling into place.
Right? What?
I want this. Well, you said
it was a maybe anyway.
It is a maybe. Well, I think
it's about to become a definite,
because I still want to do my kind
of brass and copper funky shelves.
But then that's three items.
I know. But, no, it's not,
because I'm going to take
the brass plate as my shelf.
Last-minute decision,
very happy I made that decision.
Good to go. Come on,
let's go see them. Come on, then.
Time to show Kenny and Penny
their finds,
and first up is the old petrol can.
If it's OK, I'd love to take that.
I think it's beautiful,
it's my kind of thing.
The petrol can would be glorious.
Now, do you know anything
about the...
I think we've established
its an octagonal bucket.
It arrived with a rabbit
and a guinea pig that we adopted.
I think we can do something
really nice with that.
Just paint it up, make it look mint.
And also, most importantly,
get you some good money for.
Good. Great. Yeah, cool.
Happy with that? Yep.
Now, moving on. That's just
an old fuse box, but you know what?
It's a nice Bakelite old fuse box,
very tactile. It's a lovely thing,
and I'm not going to actually
do that much with it,
I'm just going to repurpose it
into possibly a little key box
or something like that.
And then, just to finish off,
I just thought I'd go
absolutely bonkers.
So, what I'm going to do
with this little lot,
if that's all right by you,
is take it away,
and I'm going to refashion it.
That big brass sheet is beautiful.
Could be amazing. Fabulous, yeah.
Happy? Guys, thank you so much.
We've had a ball today.
See you later, guys. Bye. See you
in a couple of weeks. All right.
Coming up, Guy's rather
pleased with himself...
I think it's coming up beautifully.
It kind of highlights the letters.
...Simon's over the moon...
I am chuffed to bits with that.
...and at the valuation,
it's all about the runner-up.
This is probably my favourite bit
out of everything. I mean the...
HE GASPS
...the radiator's a close second.
Restorers and reclaimers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are on a mission to find clutter,
fix it and flog it for cash.
It's a beautiful thing, man.
Hmm? Yeah.
After today's second search,
Henry is back in Oxfordshire
unveiling his finds to Guy.
Guy, prepare to be amazed!
First, the aluminium bucket.
That's quite nice, actually.
How's about this? Mm-hm?
Mirror polish the outside...
Definitely, cos it's a nice shape.
...paint the handle.
Now, look, next item.
Okey dokey, now then.
Petrol can. If you can, I can.
That is quite cool, I've not seen
one of those before.
We could do a couple of things
with it.
The first thing, whatever
we do with it,
I'd really like to NOT paint it.
OK, so we'll linish it.
I think we should exactly
do that, mate.
Linishing is the engineering term
for removing the rust
and getting a good, shiny surface.
But first things first, man.
You're making the tea.
Great.
And after a refreshing cup of tea,
Guy can crack on grinding away years
of rust on the petrol can.
I think it's coming up beautifully.
It kind of highlights the letters.
So, I think if that is now waxed,
when you've done the whole can,
that'll look beautiful.
So I'll just carry on a bit, finish
this side,
then I'll call him over.
After a few more minutes
of linishing,
it's time for Henry to take a look.
I CAN get it shinier,
but each time you hit it
you'll lose a bit more of
the lettering.
Now, do you like that finish or not?
Yeah, I love it.
That's it. That's the easy bit,
though, son.
Yeah, there's a lot of fiddly bits
to go. Yeah, best of luck.
Good lad.
Carry on, mate. OK. It's gone well.
See you later.
All right, bud.
And if polishing the jerry can
wasn't enough polishing
for one man...
...Guy is keen to get the aluminium
bucket under way.
Just so that Henry can take a hammer
to it.
OK, so, look. I'll tell you what
I am going to do...
...is just try
and get some of these dents
out here,
just so it sits better.
So, I've got my dolly hammer and a
little dolly...
...to hit the hammer against.
Just flatten it up.
That, my friend...
...sits. Look at that!
Hey?
Back in Liverpool and Simon's
revealing his finds
from today's second search.
So this is an old fuse box, right?
OK. Yup. Yeah.
But, most importantly is
it's Bakelite.
OK. Now, take out the internals...
Mm-hm.
...and then use it for...
Like for your keys? Exactly,
exactly. Oh, yeah!
OK, I can see that.
Invented in America in 1907,
Bakelite was the first
synthetic plastic,
and was used widely in
electrical appliances.
Manufacturers stopped using it
as new petrochemical plastics
were invented,
but it is highly collectable amongst
retro aficionados.
Once it shines up and we've put some
hooks inside,
it's going to make a nice, practical
cabinet for anyone's home.
OK. Now, then, moving on. Right.
Well, look at this.
You don't come across this
every day.
It's not going to stay in one piece
for long.... Right.
...cos I'm thinking, slice it
in two, polish it up...
Yeah?
Brass shelves.
Simon will use the brass,
along with a collection of plumbing
pipes he found in the shed.
Let's get going, eh?
Start polishing, yeah? Yeah.
HE HUMS
Inside, Gemma is using the
upcycler's best friend,
hot soapy water,
to give the Bakelite fuse box a
good old wash.
With this Bakelite plastic,
it usually doesn't need too
much work,
just a good wipe.
And it's coming up
a treat just with some soapy water.
But she's going to need something a
little tougher
than just soap and water
for the brass plaque.
I'm just using a brass cleaner to
try and shine this up.
It just needs a bit of elbow grease.
It's getting there.
Can see some improvement.
Some elbow grease later and things
are looking a lot better.
Well, I think that's as good
as I'm going to get it. Looks nice.
From one key-holder to another...
In Oxford, and this time the one
from the first search.
The little menu board has been given
a coat of black paint,
ready for the all-important
green baize.
I'm just putting double-sided tape
on this piece of wood,
because I'm hoping I can stick this
green baize to it.
I don't know if it's going to work
or not, I've never done it before,
it's just an idea to try and get it
flat and smooth without gluing it,
so we'll see what happens.
Using a Stanley knife, guy cuts off
the remaining fabric.
Yeah, I'm happy with that,
that looks nice.
The fluffy edges, you won't see.
So, got to put it in the frame and
then put the hooks in for the keys.
Once all back in place, and what
does every key-holder need?
Something to hold the keys.
In this case, brass hooks.
Now there's just one last thing
to do to the menu board.
You know, it's a cheap little item
that was just languishing there
and would have just rotted away.
Yeah, yeah. And now we've actually
got something that we can sell.
Bingo!
Mate, it's done. Happy days.
Are you happy with that? We'll get
some money for that. Yeah! Great.
There's good news for the rusty old
fire grate too,
which has come back from
the painter's
looking beautiful in British
racing green.
All it needs now is a new top.
Yes! See!
Here we go. Cor, that is nice.
Help me, mate, it's heavy.
Which way...
Which way does that go around?
I think the other way.
I think that's the top. That's
the top. You've got to go that way.
Oh. Well, if you want to shuffle,
shuffle. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
We've cut the back, haven't we, to
get it... Let's see what we've got.
Oh, mate. Check that out!
What do you reckon?
Cor! It's lovely, isn't it?
Do you know what, I think that
top really...
I was worried about that, but I
think the colours work.
Let's just wax it, shall we?
Look, there we go, look.
Just a final wax to seal the wood...
Oh, it looks lovely, doesn't it?
It feels lovely as well.
...before Henry can set to work with
his favourite toy,
the orbital buffer.
Quality. That's got to be worth
decent money, surely, now?
Got to be. Nice, man.
We'll leave it out here just to dry
a bit. And then wax it, maybe?
Yeah, do another one at some point.
In Liverpool, the item Simon's found
at the first location are
being finished,
starting with the
steampunk-inspired lamp.
But with anything electrical
it's always best to get an expert in
to make sure the item is 100% safe.
The lamp has also been given
a rather nifty switch.
Give it a tap on there.
And again. And again.
And turn it off. Wow! Is that good?
That's brilliant!
Clever, that, innit?
That is so clever! Really clever.
I hate Simon's ideas when
they're good.
But we'll keep that between me
and you, I think.
Yeah, we won't tell him, but
that's really good. Yeah.
It's well nice, that.
It's so good Gemma has even lined up
a buyer for the lamp,
local artist John.
Right, I've got this lamp for you.
Wow. That's absolutely fantastic
for my art studio, that.
I'd be absolutely thrilled with
that. It's great, isn't it? Yeah.
I can just see where it's going,
exactly where it's going... Can you?
...in me art studio, yeah.
Oh, fab. OK.
So you'd be interested in buying
this off us, then?
It depends on the price.
We were looking at about 130,
it is a one-off. Really?! Yeah.
Wow, that's... That's pretty good,
yeah. You'd be interested?
Excellent, yeah. Deal! Too right,
yeah. OK! Thanks, OK. Great. Great.
Next up, Simon, Gemma and Phil
are finishing their ideas for the
wooden clamps.
Gemma is turning hers into a
set of shelves.
There we go.
I think Simon and Phil will be
quite surprised
that I've kept this simple.
I wonder what they've done
to theirs.
Phil has added a door to his
medicine cabinet,
and, well, Simon has turned his into
a nest of low coffee tables,
which just need a final sanding
and a gentle wax.
OK. So, table is finished,
just applying a coat of Danish oil.
Amazing stuff, this.
Completely seals the wood.
And I am chuffed to bits with that.
One of my favourite items
for a long time.
It may be a favourite,
but how will it fare
at the first valuation?
Simon chose to help Alison Garbutt,
who has just arrived to check if the
items will make a fair old profit.
Alison? Hello! Hello! How are you?
How are you? Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Have a look.
Oh, wow! Go on over there.
That's beautiful, aren't they?
There you go.
Hopefully you like everything?
It looks fantastic,
absolutely brilliant.
Just... Absolutely love the way
you've done the books
and the clamps. Yeah. Beautiful.
I'd never have thought of doing
anything like that with them.
Hey, Alison, look.
The little key rack there,
obviously it was for a menu,
it said on the top when we
originally got it,
and there was glass on it, etc.
I think it's just a very functional
little item.
It is, it's lovely, isn't it? Yeah.
You know.
But, have we made you any money?
Well, to find that out we're
joined now
by our independent valuer Alicia.
Good to meet you.
Independent valuer Alicia Moore runs
a successful furniture shop
specialising in upcycled homeware.
Alicia, what about the
radiator cover?
I think you've done a good
thing here.
The old rusty iron radiator cover
has been turned into
a brand-new sideboard
at a cost of £150 for stripping,
repainting and adding a wooden top.
As a table it has a much
wider market
than had it been restored as a
Victorian radiator. Yeah.
I think a fair estimate
for this would be £300.
Ooh, wow. Well, the reason, Alison,
why there's a photo there,
is I've sold it and it's gone
with the buyer.
Oh, has it? And I sold it for £325,
so I think that's pretty good.
So that delivers a rather warming
profit of £175.
Well, shall we just finish off with
the little, you know,
little key thing up there?
Yeah, yeah.
You've done a great job. It's a
pretty thing,
you know, and it's useful.
To bring the rotten
old notice board back
cost just £5 for the green baize and
the small plaque.
How much is somebody going to pay
for a key-holder?
A generous estimate would be £45.
Well, yes. Yes.
So the repurposed key-holder has
hooked a rather good £40 profit.
Moving onto my items, where shall we
start, Alicia?
Wherever you like.
OK, let's start with the lamp.
I like the steampunk vibe.
I think, you know, you've done
a good thing there.
The rusty old agricultural weedkiller
is now a gleaming lamp, thanks to
just £60 spent on electrics.
I think a reasonable estimate would
be £120.
Oh, wow. So that would have meant
you were taking home 60 quid,
but I've sold it for 130, so you're
taking home 70 quid.
How's that? Perfect.
There you go. Very good. And I loved that,
I was really pleased with that.
So £10 more than the valuation,
and a very bright £70 profit.
If you could... Yes?
...be so kind as to value
the cabinet...
Mm-hm. ..the bookshelf...
Yep. ..and the tables independently
and give us a total, thank you,
for the lot.
This is probably my
favourite bit out of everything.
I mean...
HE GASPS
...the radiator's a close
second, close second,
but this is... This is my favourite.
The six clamps have been turned into
three different items,
shelves, a medicine cabinet
and a two-tiered coffee table,
with £60 spent on new materials.
Evaluations, I'll start at the
top... Yep.
...uh, the cabinet, the mirrored
cabinet, I would say £50,
the shelf would be 40,
the small table or footstool would
be 120
and the bottom would be 220.
So, the total is 430.
SHE GASPS
So, added together, the three new
items have made £370 profit.
So you are taking home a grand total
from all our hard work,
and from the lovely things we found
lying around your place, 655 quid.
How's that? That is... just amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
So Simon's choice to help Alison
means she's walking away with
a £655 profit.
I think they looked absolutely fantastic.
I couldn't believe what they'd done
with them.
I mean, they were just rotting in
our shed.
We would have just chucked them
away, so it's really nice
to see them become something else,
something useful.
Coming up, Henry's down with
the kids...
That, my friend, is well cor.
...and there's bemusement
at the valuation.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that
you'd have done that with it.
The kings of clutter, Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien, are on a mission
to turn junk into pots of cash.
Bingo! The objects picked up at
Simon's choice of location,
the sheds belonging to
Alison Garbutt,
delivered her a profit of £655.
How's that? That is just amazing,
absolutely amazing.
So, it's now down to see if Henry's
rummage spot,
the barns belonging to Kenny
and Penny, can top that total.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's got his
favourite gadget out,
his rotary car buffer.
Right, lashings... of wood polish,
that's my trick,
will just bring it out even nicer.
Yeah, he's done a good job, the lad,
on this.
The wax should help the
newly-polished can stay rust-free.
And, after a couple of minutes under
the buffer, it looks blinding.
That really does glint, doesn't it?
Look at that.
Yeah, yeah.
Where would that look amazing?
Come on, just have a think.
With your other collection of cans?
No. Oh, OK, go on, then?
The Rat Rod side car.
Oi, it's the same finish, isn't it?
Whatever that's valued at, I'll pay.
All Guy needs to do is fix it into
the side car, and the job's done.
Hey, that's going to look fantastic.
Hey, that's a pro job!
Yes, baby!
Are you happy with that?
That, my friend, is well cool.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Well, hopefully it won't break
the bank when it gets
to the valuation.
In Liverpool, Phil and Simon are
hard at work, assembling
the brass shelves from the
collection of old bits of pipe.
Old copper pipe, nice piece of
brass, some brass fittings...
...let's see if I can get this together.
Simon's idea is to use common
plumbing fittings and attachments
to piece together the pipes, to make
a support for the brass shelf.
OK.
That slots...
...into there.
So... hidden in the middle of
that piece...
...was this cool piece of copper pipe.
This is the heat exchanger, obviously.
So... can't resist...
...using that.
Back in Oxfordshire, and Henry is
applying the finishing touches
to his aluminium bucket.
A bit of dark green never hurt anybody.
Yeah, that's the right colour.
It's going on lovely.
Just looks great, man.
And once dry, some lovely lavender
to set off the silver finish.
OK, so, we're just going to pop
that there, like that.
OK, so that goes in, like so.
That's looking good!
Here we go, then.
Yeah, go on, don't drop it.
Putting that on there, like that. Yeah.
What's that like?
Yeah, great, I think. Yeah.
Mate, I think that is... a little bit
of a transformation, isn't it?
It's lovely, yeah. All right, good,
and you've learnt
something about gardening. I have!
Let me talk to you about the birds
and the bees. Oh, right, yeah, OK.
For Simon, his mind-bending bent
pipe shelf unit has come together,
now it's been fixed to the brass plate.
He goes there.
So, what I've done is, I've used the pipes...
...that we got from the garage...
...these lovely, big brass plates
which were in the shed,
and that's the start of it.
And then, everything else is just
standard plumbing fittings.
That... is good to polish,
good to go.
On the other side of the workshop,
and Phil is fitting out the insides
of the Bakelite fuse box by simply
adding some hanging hooks.
All right, last one. Let's get this
out the way.
So, with all the hard work done,
it's time for the final valuation.
Kenny has brought his daughter,
Ocean, who wanted to raise money
for a 21st birthday party,
but will there be enough profit to
buy the bubbly?
HE LAUGHS
Hello. You must be Ocean?
Yes, I'm Ocean. Nice to meet you!
Kenny, how are you? Ocean, OK.
Kenny, how are you? Nice to see you!
Come on in, come on in, come on in!
Have a look around, see what you
reckon!
BOTH: Wow!
It's amazing.
Hopefully, there's a few
transformations there.
Yes! I think Simon should start and
tell us all about it?
OK, yes...
They're a pair of shelves.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that
you'd have done that with it,
but that's just amazing.
Yeah, it's very steam punk,
I like it, yeah.
That's all I need to hear!
That's good, mate.
I am down with the kids!
SHE LAUGHS
Now look, just starting with the
petrol can there,
the little Eversure petrol can, now,
I absolutely love that thing...
...but you may think otherwise, I
don't know.
It's just a petrol can.
THEY LAUGH
Welcome to my club!
I wander round with this man, and he
raves on about
petrol cans and oil cans.
And, do you know what it is?
It's just a petrol can.
Thank you, Ocean, you is not down
with the kids.
Now, look, OK, well, we love what
we've done, hopefully,
you do as well, apart from the
petrol can, Ocean.
But are they worth any money?
Well, to that effect, let me
introduce you to Alicia,
who is our independent valuer.
Independent valuer, Alicia Moore,
is back to put a price on the
latest collection of restorations.
So, Alicia, let's find out whether
we've made any money.
What shall we go for first?
Shall I go first? Please, I want to
hear about your shelving.
Well, let's start with the...
...the Bakelite fuse box-now key
holder? Right.
These are rare, it's Bakelite,
Bakelite is highly collectible.
It cost nothing to bring the
Bakelite fuse box back to life,
but will it spark a profit?
Obviously, it's redundant, it's
bygone, you can't use it as a...
fuse box any more, so, they go
between... anywhere from
£40 to £80, so I think we'd be
happy to go with a £60 estimate.
OK, well, that's all right, then,
you see, because you say
it's worth £60, I've sold it...
...for £70.
That's £70 of pure profit for the
Bakelite fuse box key holder.
Come on. OK.
Yeah, it's impressive.
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
Yes.
The old bunch of copper was turned
into shelves with just £70 spent on
fixtures and fittings.
It's definitely unique, it's
definitely one of a kind, it's
bespoke.
I think because of the sheer weight
of it,
it's probably more likely
to be a commercial product.
That said, I think you could easily
achieve £400.
Ah! OK.
Wow.
So a whopping profit of £330
for the steam-punk inspired
copper shelves.
Shall we start with the petrol can?
Yes.
Beautiful. A bit like you, it's a
petrol can,
but to the automobile enthusiasts,
it's a petrol can! That's me!
You know, it's a big deal.
It just costs a bit of time
and effort
to restore the battered
rusty can to its former glory.
You've done a nice finish.
I'm going to go right down the
middle, because you can get them
around...£30, you can get them £50.
I'm going to say £40
for this one.
And a profit of £40
for the petrol can.
Let's talk about the alley bucket.
Yeah, it's pretty.
£20 was spent on butterfly lavender,
and good old elbow grease was used
to polish up the aluminium bucket.
I've seen similar, but certainly not
in that shape, that size.
I think you've done a lovely job
of polishing it.
I think you could easily achieve
£60.
So that's a profit of £40
on the aluminium bucket.
So in total, that means
you're taking home £480.
How does that sound? Amazing, yes.
Thank you so much.
And thanks so much for letting us
have a good rummage, as they say.
So the collection of items
from Kenny, two sheds,
Henry's choice of location,
has netted him £480,
which should go some of the way
to getting the party started.
I think it went really well.
I was really pleasantly surprised,
and it's inspired me to look through
the rest of the junk in my sheds.
Yeah, I'm just happy we got so much
money for my birthday,
it's going to be amazing, really excited.
But today's overall winner is Simon
with his choice of location,
the barns of Alison Garbutt,
with a grand total of £655.
You know, sometimes, Henry, you get
what you deserve in life.
If you put the effort in...
Come on, come on!
I'm sulking, all right.
You're sulking, you can't avoid it.
Come here, come here.
All right, I admit, all right, you
got me.
Well, the fact is... Hook, line
and sinker, I'm done.
The main thing is... Yeah?
I won. I know you did.
One day...
Subtitles by Ericsson
The homes of Britain are
stacked with old possessions.
Hmm, now I've got my first item.
What looks like junk can actually be
worth a pretty penny.
I've just got a little bit excited.
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for a while.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that clutter
into hard cash.
We're going to get great
money for 'em.
For Henry and his mechanic...
Don't think you should be
looking at that, mate.
...they'll fettle metal
and restore old furniture.
Well, that's looking great, eh?
Whilst upcycling genius Simon and
his restorer love turning everyday
objects into fantastic furniture.
Wow, that's perfect!
But look, feast your eyes!
I reckon you've done great things.
Can we go in the fire engine?
Yes, you can, little Simon!
They may have different tastes,
but they'll always make the old
turn to gold.
Going back with you, Alan, is
£6,380, if that's all right...
What am I going to do with all that?
On today's show,
Simon's a little under the weather.
What's wrong with you?
I'm feeling a little pail.
THEY LAUGH
Henry's taking no chances.
Syringes and spread.
Just turn around a sec.
I'm not... I ain't turning around
with that, mate!
And a straight talking
at the valuation.
It's just a petrol can.
SHE AND SIMON LAUGH
Welcome to my club!
Hey, my friend Robert
lives around here.
Cleobury Mortimer, cos that's
pronounced "clear-bury",
but actually spelled "Cleo-bury",
C-L-E-O.
But the locals call it "clid-bury".
You're so interesting.
Today, Henry and Simon are in the
ever-so-fascinating market town of
Cleobury Mortimer,
which is one of the smallest towns
in the whole of Shropshire.
Simon's choice of rummage location
today is the home of Allison Garber,
who's joined by her friend Amy.
We're going to see a lovely lady
called Allison, in her family home,
and I am telling you,
the barns and sheds she has
around the place are full
of beautiful,
beautiful knick-knacks.
My parents lived here originally
and Dad was a great collector,
he collected everything.
AMY: There's a lot of
old farm implements,
and there's a lot of,
like, cabinets, things like that.
These things can sometimes be
forgotten and just left behind,
and to see them sort of revived and
brought back to life is fabulous.
Allie, how are you? Hello.
Amy, how are you?
Hello, Allie, I'm Henry.
How are you?
Hi Amy, I'm Henry, lovely to see
you! And you, and you.
Guys, how long have you been here?
Um, Mum and Dad originally moved
here in 1966,
so I was about six months old
when I moved here.
Oh, really, so you've been here ever
since? This is a family home, then?
It is, yeah. It is.
The idea is to invest in the place.
Right, so we're going to declutter
to help you turn your beautiful
family home into its former glory.
Right. Yes, please. OK.
I think we're on. We're on.
Let's go this way.
We'll see you later, girls.
Bye. See you later on! All right.
Oh, mate,
it's a good start, eh?
What do you think? I knew you were
going to like this place.
We walked through the first door,
and in there, we could have had
four items each.
NARRATOR: But first to catch
their eye...
Oh, hang on... ..is an old wooden
glass-fronted notice board.
What is that, a little notice board
for a village hall or something?
Something like that. Huh?
I love it.
Yeah. Look... Ah.
OK. Ah-ha. Well, there needs to be
a little bit of work to it. Yes.
Obviously, something's going on in
there that needs to be sorted,
and probably the hinges
have seen better days.
But we can sort it out, man.
But that's a sweet little thing,
and I'm having it,
I'm not going to argue with you.
OK? All right.
Thank you very much indeed. OK.
I think it's beautiful.
So Henry has got his first item,
which isn't a notice board, but a
small menu board for a restaurant.
Hey, first item to me,
and it's Simon's barn!
Can't get better than that!
And with Simon still needing
to get two objects he
definitely wants to take,
it's time to check out
the second barn.
Man, there's loads of gear here.
Look. Here you go.
Here's a question for you?
What's that?
There's loads of them,
there's more up top.
Looks like you're pressed
for an item, aren't you? Yeah.
They are clamps for holding
large pieces of wood together
when they are being glued.
What do you do with them?
I... Well... I would, well...
I would...
If we turn it upside down...
Oh, I see where you're going.
Yeah. OK. And we, and we put some
wood or something...
And I pretend to have
another one here.
And you pretend to have
another one there. Yeah.
And we got a nice little coffee
table of some sort.
Yeah, man, that's a must.
But you know what, I don't know yet,
but what I do know is
I'm having them.
Do you know why I'm having them?
Cos I've got no idea what they are.
And they're lovely.
When I find something like that,
I have to have it.
And that's Simon's first find,
even though he has no idea what they
are or what to do with them.
So, let's press on.
Press on! Press on, I get where
you're coming from, son, hey.
Cor, wow.
And like buses, no sooner has he got
his first item, than Simon has found
his second.
Those are nice.
I saw those, don't even try. What?
Look! Hands on!
The hands are on!
Oh, I was, I was looking at the
drawers there.
What else have you got? Oh, yeah,
you can look at the drawers.
Yeah, what...?
Cor, look at that!
What do you reckon that was for?
I don't know, it's... Well, look...
An air pump, big air pump for
tractors or something.
No, this is for
spraying something, look.
Henry, best not to ask too many
questions about it.
It's a little... Oh, hang on...
What's on the end?
It says "Dronewall... Yeah.
...syringes and spread".
It's not actually a big old air
pump, it's something, um...
for use on a farm with
animals of some sort.
Blimey, what's that for?
Just turn around a sec.
I'm not, I ain't turning around
with that, mate!
I'll show you exactly
what it's for.
THEY LAUGH
If I was going to turn around now,
that would be really wrong,
wouldn't it?
Yeah. OK, do you think
it is for that?
I think it's for the treatment of
farm animals... Yeah, but...
...in one form or another.
I don't care!
It's beautiful.
I think it'll be amazing.
Cos the fact it's got its
own stand already.
Man, that's lovely.
Just have a lamp or something.
I think I now have my two items.
Will you disinfect that first?
Yeah.
Despite their concerns,
it's actually a weed killer,
designed to penetrate
right to the roots.
So just one more item
to find for Henry.
Oh, mate, hang on.
Just when we thought I was bereft...
Hello.
What do you reckon that is?
It's an old Victorian
radiator cover or something?
Yeah, something like that, isn't it?
Yeah. Hey, nice wooden top.
Sideboard.
I think that'd go well with the
little village hall notice board.
Do you know what I mean,
yin and yang?
You have to take something
that's going to need some work.
Oh, that's so unfair.
This will test you.
So Henry finally has
his second item,
the vintage cast-iron fire surround
that would have stood in front of a
roaring log fire and acted as a form
of radiator.
Hey, have we got two items
or have we got two items?
I think we've definitely
got two items.
Allie and Amy, here we come.
Yeah, come on, let's go.
Let's do it!
Oh, I love that!
Cor, I can't believe it.
Now it's time to find out what
Allison will make
of the lads' choices.
Now, girls, can you tell me about,
is that a cover or a surround
for an old radiator?
I've no idea where it came from,
but it's been here a
good 30, 40 years, so...
OK, until we arrived, yeah... Yes!
...so if it's all right,
I'm going to take that. Yeah.
My second item... Brilliant.
...just a simple little thing that
you often find in places,
but I just want to give it some love
and make it look fantastic.
And I think that would be
really desirable,
hopefully get you some money.
Now, then, my two items.
Without causing too much damage
to them,
I'll keep intrinsically
what they are,
but bring them into
the 21st century.
Now, my second choice... Ah...
...we're going to call it some kind
of agricultural implement.
Air pump. All right. I think
we'll just leave it at that.
So we're going to make you
some proper money,
so you can put it into your lovely
house here. Yeah.
Brilliant. Cheers, girls! See you
in a couple of weeks. Thank you.
OK, all right.
OK, guys. See you later.
Coming up, Simon still hasn't
got a clue.
What's this, then?
No idea.
Henry's up to his old tricks.
That is a petrol can.
I mean, you've got to have it,
haven't you?
And Guy comes up trumps.
GUY: I can turn this winner into
an item that you definitely need...
Right. ..and most households
definitely need.
Expert restorers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are turning the old into gold.
Cor, look at that!
What do you reckon that was for?
They've picked up two items each
from the family farm
belonging to Allison Garbutt.
Simon has returned to his workshop
in Liverpool,
where his expert upcycler, Gemma,
is about to see
what she has to work with.
First, the antique wooden clamps.
Right. What's this, then?
No idea.
The only thing I can think of,
I've been pondering this
all the way home,
is maybe wood.
We've got bitumen here, maybe
gluing pieces of wood together? OK.
If that's that way around... Yeah?
...and we clamp a nice, solid
piece of wood in there,
it's like a little coffee table?
OK.
Or... maybe, is it...
...shelves, with...?
They would be nice shelves,
but is that too obvious,
do you think? Well, you see,
this is the thing. OK. I'll tell you
what we're going to do with these.
We're going to do that...
The most important thing you can do
when you get anything like this,
we're going to give them three coats
of looking at.
Yeah, OK. All right?
And one coat of woodworm treatment,
by the looks of it.
And with enough clamps to go around,
Simon, Gemma and even handyman Phil
will be able to join in today.
We're going to have a little bit of
a challenge on this
and see who can come up
with the better.
Fingers crossed,
it's going to be me,
but I'm going to have to
think outside the box here.
Now for the large
agricultural syringe.
Now, I'm thinking,
if that's attached there... Mm-hm.
...and that is, like,
literally just like that,
we've got brass, we've got iron,
we've got all the elements I think
you need to make a really cool lamp.
In the meantime,
take one of these each,
and let's give these
some thought, eh? Okey doke.
Outside, and as Simon starts giving
his clamps a gentle rub down,
inside, Gemma knows straight away
what she'll do with hers.
Right, so, I'm turning
these brackets...
...into shelves.
They're going to sit on the wall
like that,
and I need this to be able to
go up and down.
So, I think the best way
to do it...
...is to put two holes in there,
put the screws in the wall.
And handyman Phil also knows
what he will do with his -
turn them into a small medicine
cabinet, of course.
That's my centre.
Phil cuts a small piece of plywood
for the door,
which is then covered with a mirror.
Lovely days.
On the other side of the workshop,
and Simon is removing
the rather dangerous needle
from the agricultural syringe
that he hopes will become
a very on-trend lamp.
NEEDLE CLANKS
There you go.
And, under the years
of grime and dirt,
he's revealed
a rather attractive brass nozzle
that will hold the bulb fitting.
That's fantastic, brilliant.
Imagine a...
Like an old industrial cage
with a bulb on the end of that.
This is turning out well.
200 miles away, in Oxfordshire,
and Henry is unveiling his finds to
his restoration guru, Guy Willison.
What do you reckon? That would
open up like that, wouldn't it?
Can I stop you right there?
I have an idea... OK.
...and I can turn this winner
into an item
that you definitely need,
and most households definitely need.
What I would do is
I'd put a load of brass hooks in
and have up here
a metal plate - keys.
And it's a key holder
for all your vehicles.
I think that's a really useful item.
Yeah, all right, done. Yeah, good.
Yeah? Right, next! OK.
OK, now, as they say in the trade,
for something completely different.
What would you have it as?
Come on, mate, let's see
if we're singing off the same...
There's only one thing
to do with it,
and that is, in a lovely big house,
park it up against the wall
with a beautiful wooden top on it,
and then this bottom half repainted.
That's exactly what I think.
It should be a side table
with a lovely, lovely thick,
dark oak top to it. Mm.
OK, so that's what we're
going to do. Happy days? Yes.
Let's get on with it. Yeah.
So, with everyone singing
from the same page,
the fire surround is sent
for a quick sandblast,
whilst Henry and Guy blow away years
of dust and debris
with a compressed air blower...
Let's air line it and get rid of all
the stuff all over it, shall we?
Take your glass off.
That's it. So we're not going to
touch that. No.
...before carefully
prising off the hinges...
Ah!
HE LAUGHS
Don't.
I love it when you hurt yourself.
...and the brass plate.
Well done, mate.
Oh, it is brass. That's lovely.
Look at that. That's great.
So we'll re-use that...
Yes, definitely.
...but you need to stick that
on the mark and clean it.
Yeah, I'll do that. That'll take
two minutes. Shall I do it now?
Yeah, do it now.
Do it now, good lad.
Back in Liverpool,
and Simon is cracking on
with the body of the syringe,
using wet and dry sandpaper
to reveal the lovely brass
under the grime.
And that's as far
as we want to take it back.
We're getting there.
Meanwhile, in Oxfordshire,
Guy is giving the frame
of the key holder
a nice new coat
of shiny black paint.
That's work well under way
on the first set of items.
Now for Henry's choice
of rummage location.
Two suburban sheds
belonging to Penny and Kenny.
I've got all these lovely objects
in my garage and shed
because I'm an inventor, and I can
always find uses for things.
I just think it's clutter.
I'd like to see a lot of it go.
It'd be fabulous if Henry and Simon
could take as much as possible
out of the shed and the garage.
That would just be tremendous.
Now, I admit that Allie's shed
was a treat.
You know it was. It was, mate.
But this one
is going to be a surprise.
No automotive nothing,
no motorcycles,
just good old garden shed rummaging.
Really? Come on. Let's go.
Kenny, Henry. How are you.
Pleased to meet you. Penny?
Hello, nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you. Simon.
Penny, how are you?
Hello, nice to meet you?
HAWK SQUAWKS
Who's that? That's Mordecai.
He's our daughter's Harris hawk.
Your daughter...?
I bought my daughter a cat!
She bought it herself.
Oh, fair enough.
Honestly, you can forgive me
for being distracted.
If we do make you some money,
which on occasion
we are successful...
HE CHUCKLES
...what would you use it for?
The daughter who owns the hawk,
it's her 21st birthday this year,
and she's asked for a party
in the garden.
Did you not get an invite?
I'd like to. You never know.
We could do some old man dancing.
I'm really good at that.
Here we go. Let's dad-dance
over to the sheds.
Shall we do that? See you later,
guys. It's lovely to see you.
We'll see you in a bit. Yeah,
see you in a bit. All right.
As Henry and Simon
dad-dance over to the shed,
they'll keep an eagle eye out
for two items each
that they can fix and flog
for a profit.
I think I could be in Saturday Night
Fever. What do you think? Eh?
You and me? You know, giving it...
You look like a Bee Gee, actually.
A Bee Gee? Yeah, I probably do.
Anyway... Yeah. ..let's look in
here. All right. Whoa.
Ooh, I've seen something.
What? No, what? I'm not even in yet!
That's cheating! There's rather
a lot of stuff, Henry.
Here is an ordinary
little garden shed,
and in there,
there are lovely things.
Everyone has them,
and we found them.
What's that, a kind of...?
A fuse box-type thing.
Could it be a kind
of fuse box, yeah?
You know, you know...
You could turn that into a chaise
longue, couldn't you? Hang on.
Is it Bakelite? I don't know.
It think it's Bakelite.
That's possible.
And it's a... A junction box
or a fuse box,
or something like that.
Simon's picked up
an old Bakelite fuse box
that wouldn't now pass
electrical safety regulations,
and also contains formaldehyde,
which is considered toxic.
Only a maybe, that one.
Just left that one
on the back burner.
What's wrong with you?
I'm feeling a little PAIL.
THEY CHUCKLE
You do sink to some levels,
don't you?
Look at that, that's beautiful!
That's cool, innit?
Hey, man, that'll polish up
or clean up or...
I think it is ali, actually.
It's very light. Yeah.
I want it. All right.
So, immediately,
I get my first item.
Hey, Simon - come on, mate.
What are you up to?
And you got it without
even having to look for it,
an eight-sided aluminium bucket.
What else have you got?
Oh, I've got some of this.
Heavy, heavy, heavy. Hey, hey, mate,
mate, that's serious brass.
Heavy, heavy, heavy.
I'm turning it on my foot.
I've got something else as well.
Blimey, look at that.
What's that? That...
It's a heat exchanger, I think.
What could you do with that?
I don't know.
Sorry, straight away, brass shelf.
Have you ever seen one of those?
Well, listen, I'm having this, so
I'm just going to put that down, OK?
OK.
HEAVY CLANK
You frighten me sometimes.
METALLIC CRASH
Oh!
Hey look, well, that was
a good stash, wasn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, straight away.
Right, shall we carry on?
Yeah, that was lovely.
Come on, then.
So Simon has taken the heavy sheet
of brass as his first item,
and Henry has his bucket.
Hey, mate... Are we going in?
Cor, yeah, I think we are.
Onto the next shed,
the classic garage full of stuff.
This is what they call
in the trade "clutter".
Oh, get your hand down there, bring
that out, you know what I've seen.
That is a petrol can. I mean, you've
got to have it, haven't you?
It's actually an Eversure Fillacan
from the 1950s,
and it's unique for having
a built-in pourer
that couldn't be lost.
Guess what I'm going to turn it
into? Oh hang on, hang on, let me...
It's like your vibe's going.
You'll turn it into... Yeah?
...a petrol can.
How did I know that?
It's a beautiful thing, man!
Hmm? Yeah. But you could do, like...
I'm having it anyway. Yeah.
But I might surprise you,
you never know, mate. Hm?
I will be surprised
if he doesn't just spray it.
So a second item for Henry -
the rusty old petrol can.
We shall see.
However, I am going to surprise
you... With a bit of plumbing?
Ah, that's a little bit of plumbing.
There's bigger plumbing behind you.
Can you pass it out, please?
Oh, cor, blimey...
Are these copper, yeah? Yeah.
Further back in the shed,
which Henry passed out to me,
really, really decent,
large-diameter copper piping.
Can I help you? Yeah.
And in fact, copper piping
of all different shapes and sizes.
There you go.
What are you going to do?
It's obvious what it is!
A bit of plumbing stuff?
It's a shelving unit, isn't it?
I'm done. Got my second item.
Right, come on then.
So that's Simon's second item,
the copper pipes.
And the search is done,
if Kenny and Penny are happy
to let the lads lose on their items.
But what's this?
Is Simon having a change of heart?
Come on, time is money.
No, do you know what?
Come on, come on.
Thoughts are falling into place.
Right? What?
I want this. Well, you said
it was a maybe anyway.
It is a maybe. Well, I think
it's about to become a definite,
because I still want to do my kind
of brass and copper funky shelves.
But then that's three items.
I know. But, no, it's not,
because I'm going to take
the brass plate as my shelf.
Last-minute decision,
very happy I made that decision.
Good to go. Come on,
let's go see them. Come on, then.
Time to show Kenny and Penny
their finds,
and first up is the old petrol can.
If it's OK, I'd love to take that.
I think it's beautiful,
it's my kind of thing.
The petrol can would be glorious.
Now, do you know anything
about the...
I think we've established
its an octagonal bucket.
It arrived with a rabbit
and a guinea pig that we adopted.
I think we can do something
really nice with that.
Just paint it up, make it look mint.
And also, most importantly,
get you some good money for.
Good. Great. Yeah, cool.
Happy with that? Yep.
Now, moving on. That's just
an old fuse box, but you know what?
It's a nice Bakelite old fuse box,
very tactile. It's a lovely thing,
and I'm not going to actually
do that much with it,
I'm just going to repurpose it
into possibly a little key box
or something like that.
And then, just to finish off,
I just thought I'd go
absolutely bonkers.
So, what I'm going to do
with this little lot,
if that's all right by you,
is take it away,
and I'm going to refashion it.
That big brass sheet is beautiful.
Could be amazing. Fabulous, yeah.
Happy? Guys, thank you so much.
We've had a ball today.
See you later, guys. Bye. See you
in a couple of weeks. All right.
Coming up, Guy's rather
pleased with himself...
I think it's coming up beautifully.
It kind of highlights the letters.
...Simon's over the moon...
I am chuffed to bits with that.
...and at the valuation,
it's all about the runner-up.
This is probably my favourite bit
out of everything. I mean the...
HE GASPS
...the radiator's a close second.
Restorers and reclaimers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are on a mission to find clutter,
fix it and flog it for cash.
It's a beautiful thing, man.
Hmm? Yeah.
After today's second search,
Henry is back in Oxfordshire
unveiling his finds to Guy.
Guy, prepare to be amazed!
First, the aluminium bucket.
That's quite nice, actually.
How's about this? Mm-hm?
Mirror polish the outside...
Definitely, cos it's a nice shape.
...paint the handle.
Now, look, next item.
Okey dokey, now then.
Petrol can. If you can, I can.
That is quite cool, I've not seen
one of those before.
We could do a couple of things
with it.
The first thing, whatever
we do with it,
I'd really like to NOT paint it.
OK, so we'll linish it.
I think we should exactly
do that, mate.
Linishing is the engineering term
for removing the rust
and getting a good, shiny surface.
But first things first, man.
You're making the tea.
Great.
And after a refreshing cup of tea,
Guy can crack on grinding away years
of rust on the petrol can.
I think it's coming up beautifully.
It kind of highlights the letters.
So, I think if that is now waxed,
when you've done the whole can,
that'll look beautiful.
So I'll just carry on a bit, finish
this side,
then I'll call him over.
After a few more minutes
of linishing,
it's time for Henry to take a look.
I CAN get it shinier,
but each time you hit it
you'll lose a bit more of
the lettering.
Now, do you like that finish or not?
Yeah, I love it.
That's it. That's the easy bit,
though, son.
Yeah, there's a lot of fiddly bits
to go. Yeah, best of luck.
Good lad.
Carry on, mate. OK. It's gone well.
See you later.
All right, bud.
And if polishing the jerry can
wasn't enough polishing
for one man...
...Guy is keen to get the aluminium
bucket under way.
Just so that Henry can take a hammer
to it.
OK, so, look. I'll tell you what
I am going to do...
...is just try
and get some of these dents
out here,
just so it sits better.
So, I've got my dolly hammer and a
little dolly...
...to hit the hammer against.
Just flatten it up.
That, my friend...
...sits. Look at that!
Hey?
Back in Liverpool and Simon's
revealing his finds
from today's second search.
So this is an old fuse box, right?
OK. Yup. Yeah.
But, most importantly is
it's Bakelite.
OK. Now, take out the internals...
Mm-hm.
...and then use it for...
Like for your keys? Exactly,
exactly. Oh, yeah!
OK, I can see that.
Invented in America in 1907,
Bakelite was the first
synthetic plastic,
and was used widely in
electrical appliances.
Manufacturers stopped using it
as new petrochemical plastics
were invented,
but it is highly collectable amongst
retro aficionados.
Once it shines up and we've put some
hooks inside,
it's going to make a nice, practical
cabinet for anyone's home.
OK. Now, then, moving on. Right.
Well, look at this.
You don't come across this
every day.
It's not going to stay in one piece
for long.... Right.
...cos I'm thinking, slice it
in two, polish it up...
Yeah?
Brass shelves.
Simon will use the brass,
along with a collection of plumbing
pipes he found in the shed.
Let's get going, eh?
Start polishing, yeah? Yeah.
HE HUMS
Inside, Gemma is using the
upcycler's best friend,
hot soapy water,
to give the Bakelite fuse box a
good old wash.
With this Bakelite plastic,
it usually doesn't need too
much work,
just a good wipe.
And it's coming up
a treat just with some soapy water.
But she's going to need something a
little tougher
than just soap and water
for the brass plaque.
I'm just using a brass cleaner to
try and shine this up.
It just needs a bit of elbow grease.
It's getting there.
Can see some improvement.
Some elbow grease later and things
are looking a lot better.
Well, I think that's as good
as I'm going to get it. Looks nice.
From one key-holder to another...
In Oxford, and this time the one
from the first search.
The little menu board has been given
a coat of black paint,
ready for the all-important
green baize.
I'm just putting double-sided tape
on this piece of wood,
because I'm hoping I can stick this
green baize to it.
I don't know if it's going to work
or not, I've never done it before,
it's just an idea to try and get it
flat and smooth without gluing it,
so we'll see what happens.
Using a Stanley knife, guy cuts off
the remaining fabric.
Yeah, I'm happy with that,
that looks nice.
The fluffy edges, you won't see.
So, got to put it in the frame and
then put the hooks in for the keys.
Once all back in place, and what
does every key-holder need?
Something to hold the keys.
In this case, brass hooks.
Now there's just one last thing
to do to the menu board.
You know, it's a cheap little item
that was just languishing there
and would have just rotted away.
Yeah, yeah. And now we've actually
got something that we can sell.
Bingo!
Mate, it's done. Happy days.
Are you happy with that? We'll get
some money for that. Yeah! Great.
There's good news for the rusty old
fire grate too,
which has come back from
the painter's
looking beautiful in British
racing green.
All it needs now is a new top.
Yes! See!
Here we go. Cor, that is nice.
Help me, mate, it's heavy.
Which way...
Which way does that go around?
I think the other way.
I think that's the top. That's
the top. You've got to go that way.
Oh. Well, if you want to shuffle,
shuffle. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
We've cut the back, haven't we, to
get it... Let's see what we've got.
Oh, mate. Check that out!
What do you reckon?
Cor! It's lovely, isn't it?
Do you know what, I think that
top really...
I was worried about that, but I
think the colours work.
Let's just wax it, shall we?
Look, there we go, look.
Just a final wax to seal the wood...
Oh, it looks lovely, doesn't it?
It feels lovely as well.
...before Henry can set to work with
his favourite toy,
the orbital buffer.
Quality. That's got to be worth
decent money, surely, now?
Got to be. Nice, man.
We'll leave it out here just to dry
a bit. And then wax it, maybe?
Yeah, do another one at some point.
In Liverpool, the item Simon's found
at the first location are
being finished,
starting with the
steampunk-inspired lamp.
But with anything electrical
it's always best to get an expert in
to make sure the item is 100% safe.
The lamp has also been given
a rather nifty switch.
Give it a tap on there.
And again. And again.
And turn it off. Wow! Is that good?
That's brilliant!
Clever, that, innit?
That is so clever! Really clever.
I hate Simon's ideas when
they're good.
But we'll keep that between me
and you, I think.
Yeah, we won't tell him, but
that's really good. Yeah.
It's well nice, that.
It's so good Gemma has even lined up
a buyer for the lamp,
local artist John.
Right, I've got this lamp for you.
Wow. That's absolutely fantastic
for my art studio, that.
I'd be absolutely thrilled with
that. It's great, isn't it? Yeah.
I can just see where it's going,
exactly where it's going... Can you?
...in me art studio, yeah.
Oh, fab. OK.
So you'd be interested in buying
this off us, then?
It depends on the price.
We were looking at about 130,
it is a one-off. Really?! Yeah.
Wow, that's... That's pretty good,
yeah. You'd be interested?
Excellent, yeah. Deal! Too right,
yeah. OK! Thanks, OK. Great. Great.
Next up, Simon, Gemma and Phil
are finishing their ideas for the
wooden clamps.
Gemma is turning hers into a
set of shelves.
There we go.
I think Simon and Phil will be
quite surprised
that I've kept this simple.
I wonder what they've done
to theirs.
Phil has added a door to his
medicine cabinet,
and, well, Simon has turned his into
a nest of low coffee tables,
which just need a final sanding
and a gentle wax.
OK. So, table is finished,
just applying a coat of Danish oil.
Amazing stuff, this.
Completely seals the wood.
And I am chuffed to bits with that.
One of my favourite items
for a long time.
It may be a favourite,
but how will it fare
at the first valuation?
Simon chose to help Alison Garbutt,
who has just arrived to check if the
items will make a fair old profit.
Alison? Hello! Hello! How are you?
How are you? Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Have a look.
Oh, wow! Go on over there.
That's beautiful, aren't they?
There you go.
Hopefully you like everything?
It looks fantastic,
absolutely brilliant.
Just... Absolutely love the way
you've done the books
and the clamps. Yeah. Beautiful.
I'd never have thought of doing
anything like that with them.
Hey, Alison, look.
The little key rack there,
obviously it was for a menu,
it said on the top when we
originally got it,
and there was glass on it, etc.
I think it's just a very functional
little item.
It is, it's lovely, isn't it? Yeah.
You know.
But, have we made you any money?
Well, to find that out we're
joined now
by our independent valuer Alicia.
Good to meet you.
Independent valuer Alicia Moore runs
a successful furniture shop
specialising in upcycled homeware.
Alicia, what about the
radiator cover?
I think you've done a good
thing here.
The old rusty iron radiator cover
has been turned into
a brand-new sideboard
at a cost of £150 for stripping,
repainting and adding a wooden top.
As a table it has a much
wider market
than had it been restored as a
Victorian radiator. Yeah.
I think a fair estimate
for this would be £300.
Ooh, wow. Well, the reason, Alison,
why there's a photo there,
is I've sold it and it's gone
with the buyer.
Oh, has it? And I sold it for £325,
so I think that's pretty good.
So that delivers a rather warming
profit of £175.
Well, shall we just finish off with
the little, you know,
little key thing up there?
Yeah, yeah.
You've done a great job. It's a
pretty thing,
you know, and it's useful.
To bring the rotten
old notice board back
cost just £5 for the green baize and
the small plaque.
How much is somebody going to pay
for a key-holder?
A generous estimate would be £45.
Well, yes. Yes.
So the repurposed key-holder has
hooked a rather good £40 profit.
Moving onto my items, where shall we
start, Alicia?
Wherever you like.
OK, let's start with the lamp.
I like the steampunk vibe.
I think, you know, you've done
a good thing there.
The rusty old agricultural weedkiller
is now a gleaming lamp, thanks to
just £60 spent on electrics.
I think a reasonable estimate would
be £120.
Oh, wow. So that would have meant
you were taking home 60 quid,
but I've sold it for 130, so you're
taking home 70 quid.
How's that? Perfect.
There you go. Very good. And I loved that,
I was really pleased with that.
So £10 more than the valuation,
and a very bright £70 profit.
If you could... Yes?
...be so kind as to value
the cabinet...
Mm-hm. ..the bookshelf...
Yep. ..and the tables independently
and give us a total, thank you,
for the lot.
This is probably my
favourite bit out of everything.
I mean...
HE GASPS
...the radiator's a close
second, close second,
but this is... This is my favourite.
The six clamps have been turned into
three different items,
shelves, a medicine cabinet
and a two-tiered coffee table,
with £60 spent on new materials.
Evaluations, I'll start at the
top... Yep.
...uh, the cabinet, the mirrored
cabinet, I would say £50,
the shelf would be 40,
the small table or footstool would
be 120
and the bottom would be 220.
So, the total is 430.
SHE GASPS
So, added together, the three new
items have made £370 profit.
So you are taking home a grand total
from all our hard work,
and from the lovely things we found
lying around your place, 655 quid.
How's that? That is... just amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
So Simon's choice to help Alison
means she's walking away with
a £655 profit.
I think they looked absolutely fantastic.
I couldn't believe what they'd done
with them.
I mean, they were just rotting in
our shed.
We would have just chucked them
away, so it's really nice
to see them become something else,
something useful.
Coming up, Henry's down with
the kids...
That, my friend, is well cor.
...and there's bemusement
at the valuation.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that
you'd have done that with it.
The kings of clutter, Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien, are on a mission
to turn junk into pots of cash.
Bingo! The objects picked up at
Simon's choice of location,
the sheds belonging to
Alison Garbutt,
delivered her a profit of £655.
How's that? That is just amazing,
absolutely amazing.
So, it's now down to see if Henry's
rummage spot,
the barns belonging to Kenny
and Penny, can top that total.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's got his
favourite gadget out,
his rotary car buffer.
Right, lashings... of wood polish,
that's my trick,
will just bring it out even nicer.
Yeah, he's done a good job, the lad,
on this.
The wax should help the
newly-polished can stay rust-free.
And, after a couple of minutes under
the buffer, it looks blinding.
That really does glint, doesn't it?
Look at that.
Yeah, yeah.
Where would that look amazing?
Come on, just have a think.
With your other collection of cans?
No. Oh, OK, go on, then?
The Rat Rod side car.
Oi, it's the same finish, isn't it?
Whatever that's valued at, I'll pay.
All Guy needs to do is fix it into
the side car, and the job's done.
Hey, that's going to look fantastic.
Hey, that's a pro job!
Yes, baby!
Are you happy with that?
That, my friend, is well cool.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Well, hopefully it won't break
the bank when it gets
to the valuation.
In Liverpool, Phil and Simon are
hard at work, assembling
the brass shelves from the
collection of old bits of pipe.
Old copper pipe, nice piece of
brass, some brass fittings...
...let's see if I can get this together.
Simon's idea is to use common
plumbing fittings and attachments
to piece together the pipes, to make
a support for the brass shelf.
OK.
That slots...
...into there.
So... hidden in the middle of
that piece...
...was this cool piece of copper pipe.
This is the heat exchanger, obviously.
So... can't resist...
...using that.
Back in Oxfordshire, and Henry is
applying the finishing touches
to his aluminium bucket.
A bit of dark green never hurt anybody.
Yeah, that's the right colour.
It's going on lovely.
Just looks great, man.
And once dry, some lovely lavender
to set off the silver finish.
OK, so, we're just going to pop
that there, like that.
OK, so that goes in, like so.
That's looking good!
Here we go, then.
Yeah, go on, don't drop it.
Putting that on there, like that. Yeah.
What's that like?
Yeah, great, I think. Yeah.
Mate, I think that is... a little bit
of a transformation, isn't it?
It's lovely, yeah. All right, good,
and you've learnt
something about gardening. I have!
Let me talk to you about the birds
and the bees. Oh, right, yeah, OK.
For Simon, his mind-bending bent
pipe shelf unit has come together,
now it's been fixed to the brass plate.
He goes there.
So, what I've done is, I've used the pipes...
...that we got from the garage...
...these lovely, big brass plates
which were in the shed,
and that's the start of it.
And then, everything else is just
standard plumbing fittings.
That... is good to polish,
good to go.
On the other side of the workshop,
and Phil is fitting out the insides
of the Bakelite fuse box by simply
adding some hanging hooks.
All right, last one. Let's get this
out the way.
So, with all the hard work done,
it's time for the final valuation.
Kenny has brought his daughter,
Ocean, who wanted to raise money
for a 21st birthday party,
but will there be enough profit to
buy the bubbly?
HE LAUGHS
Hello. You must be Ocean?
Yes, I'm Ocean. Nice to meet you!
Kenny, how are you? Ocean, OK.
Kenny, how are you? Nice to see you!
Come on in, come on in, come on in!
Have a look around, see what you
reckon!
BOTH: Wow!
It's amazing.
Hopefully, there's a few
transformations there.
Yes! I think Simon should start and
tell us all about it?
OK, yes...
They're a pair of shelves.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that
you'd have done that with it,
but that's just amazing.
Yeah, it's very steam punk,
I like it, yeah.
That's all I need to hear!
That's good, mate.
I am down with the kids!
SHE LAUGHS
Now look, just starting with the
petrol can there,
the little Eversure petrol can, now,
I absolutely love that thing...
...but you may think otherwise, I
don't know.
It's just a petrol can.
THEY LAUGH
Welcome to my club!
I wander round with this man, and he
raves on about
petrol cans and oil cans.
And, do you know what it is?
It's just a petrol can.
Thank you, Ocean, you is not down
with the kids.
Now, look, OK, well, we love what
we've done, hopefully,
you do as well, apart from the
petrol can, Ocean.
But are they worth any money?
Well, to that effect, let me
introduce you to Alicia,
who is our independent valuer.
Independent valuer, Alicia Moore,
is back to put a price on the
latest collection of restorations.
So, Alicia, let's find out whether
we've made any money.
What shall we go for first?
Shall I go first? Please, I want to
hear about your shelving.
Well, let's start with the...
...the Bakelite fuse box-now key
holder? Right.
These are rare, it's Bakelite,
Bakelite is highly collectible.
It cost nothing to bring the
Bakelite fuse box back to life,
but will it spark a profit?
Obviously, it's redundant, it's
bygone, you can't use it as a...
fuse box any more, so, they go
between... anywhere from
£40 to £80, so I think we'd be
happy to go with a £60 estimate.
OK, well, that's all right, then,
you see, because you say
it's worth £60, I've sold it...
...for £70.
That's £70 of pure profit for the
Bakelite fuse box key holder.
Come on. OK.
Yeah, it's impressive.
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
Yes.
The old bunch of copper was turned
into shelves with just £70 spent on
fixtures and fittings.
It's definitely unique, it's
definitely one of a kind, it's
bespoke.
I think because of the sheer weight
of it,
it's probably more likely
to be a commercial product.
That said, I think you could easily
achieve £400.
Ah! OK.
Wow.
So a whopping profit of £330
for the steam-punk inspired
copper shelves.
Shall we start with the petrol can?
Yes.
Beautiful. A bit like you, it's a
petrol can,
but to the automobile enthusiasts,
it's a petrol can! That's me!
You know, it's a big deal.
It just costs a bit of time
and effort
to restore the battered
rusty can to its former glory.
You've done a nice finish.
I'm going to go right down the
middle, because you can get them
around...£30, you can get them £50.
I'm going to say £40
for this one.
And a profit of £40
for the petrol can.
Let's talk about the alley bucket.
Yeah, it's pretty.
£20 was spent on butterfly lavender,
and good old elbow grease was used
to polish up the aluminium bucket.
I've seen similar, but certainly not
in that shape, that size.
I think you've done a lovely job
of polishing it.
I think you could easily achieve
£60.
So that's a profit of £40
on the aluminium bucket.
So in total, that means
you're taking home £480.
How does that sound? Amazing, yes.
Thank you so much.
And thanks so much for letting us
have a good rummage, as they say.
So the collection of items
from Kenny, two sheds,
Henry's choice of location,
has netted him £480,
which should go some of the way
to getting the party started.
I think it went really well.
I was really pleasantly surprised,
and it's inspired me to look through
the rest of the junk in my sheds.
Yeah, I'm just happy we got so much
money for my birthday,
it's going to be amazing, really excited.
But today's overall winner is Simon
with his choice of location,
the barns of Alison Garbutt,
with a grand total of £655.
You know, sometimes, Henry, you get
what you deserve in life.
If you put the effort in...
Come on, come on!
I'm sulking, all right.
You're sulking, you can't avoid it.
Come here, come here.
All right, I admit, all right, you
got me.
Well, the fact is... Hook, line
and sinker, I'm done.
The main thing is... Yeah?
I won. I know you did.
One day...
