Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 3, Episode 10 - Episode #3.10 - full transcript

Oh, my God! The sheds, garages and
barns of Britain are stacked

with old possessions.
This is heaven, mate.

I mean, that's the only way to
describe it, isn't it?

What looks like valueless junk could
be worth a pretty penny.

I've just fallen in love.

Man, that's gorgeous.

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien reckon
they can fix this redundant rubbish.

And once restored, sell for a profit.

That's IMMENSE, mate!

For Henry and his mechanic...

That's it!



...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.

Oh, my God - it goes!

While Simon and his upcycler
repurpose the unwanted

into fantastic furniture.

Oh, my word!

That's amazing!

Have a look, what do you reckon?

I think it's remarkable.

It's breathtaking.

All right!

Hey?

They may have different approaches,
but together they'll turn a profit

for the owners.

You're going home, mate, with 6,220
quid, how does that sound?



That sounds brilliant.

Today...

Henry is all in the dark.

Bye.

Simon?

Simon?!

Simon is smoking hot.

I thought I'd run out of battery but
I think I've run out of saw.

And emotions run high at the valuation.

Oh, my goodness, it makes me a
little bit emotional, really!

This is where the wealth of our
nation was created.

What, Bradford?

The cotton mills of Yorkshire
and Lancashire, my friend,

is where our nation was founded

in the Industrial Revolution.

Today, Henry's taking Simon the
Keighley, a borough of Bradford,

famous for the Bronte sisters
and textile mills.

So, it seems apt that Henry's choice
of location is a former cotton mill.

Roger Henderson repairs classic
motorbikes in his workshop located

in the mill's basement.

Roger... Yes. ..lives in what
I'm told are catacombs.

I'm not quite sure what that means.

He lives in catacombs?!

Well, he doesn't live there -
he's got his workshop there?

We like to build a lot of show
bikes, we restore, we repair,

we renovate but we are running short
of space.

Roger. Henry. How are you? And this
is Simon. How are you? Hi, Simon.

I've got a feeling, Roger,
that an interest...

...became a hobby,

became a passion, became an obsession,

would that be fair to say?

Wouldn't be far off. Yes!

If we do make you some money, Roger,
what would you spend it on?

Well, we need a milling machine.

We need a rolling road.

Roger, I'm sure we'll be able
to facilitate one or all of those.

SIMON LAUGHING
I hope so. Dependent on what we
find. Cheers, mate.

Roger, thank you so much, we'll see
you in a little bit. OK.

Come on, then - can we get going
now? Yes, all right.

As ever, the boys' mission is to
find two items each,

fix them, then flog them for cash.

I have to say I've been looking
forward to today for weeks.

Can I just stop you for a second?
Yes, I know you're going to stop me.

It's a Royal Enfield. I won't bore
you, but rigid forks...

What do you mean, you won't bore me?

Probably late '20s, early '30s.

Small capacity lump, actually.

Lump?

Engine, engine...

Established in 1901, Royal Enfield
is the oldest motorcycle brand

in the world still in production today,

with modern bikes being designed and
made in India.

But I've been in enough workshops to know

if there's tools all around it,

that one, Roger will keep.

Come on. Come on.

Henry begrudgingly leaves Roger's
pet project.

Mate, you're going to love it in
here. Oh, yeah.

Come on.

There. What? Look at that.
Grinding wheel.

That's really cool.

Do you think that was left over, then?

Ah, maybe - yeah, he said that the
old factory stuff was lying around.

The grinding machine may have been used

to sharpen general tools and knives

when the workshop was a functioning
cotton mill.

It would have been driven by a belt connected

to a standing engine outside.

I want to see the bikes but can I
have that?

What?

I'm just getting in there before
you, OK,

cos it's probably the only thing
that ain't a motorbike.

Oh, no! I'm having that as my first
item. Aargh!

HENRY SNICKERS

Henry's pick means he has one item
and Simon has none.

Can I talk to you about...

...East German motorcycles?

Do I have any choice?
Just very quickly. OK.

Very cheap transport. So, these
motorcycles, normally two-stroke,

yeah, were the kind of lifeblood of
the working man and woman.

The Czech-built CZ 470 was a
two-stroke work horse

for the Eastern Bloc nations.

First making guns, Ceska Zbrojovka
branched into motorcycles.

However, the brand ended production
in 1997, unable to compete

with Japanese imports, following the
fall of the Iron Curtain.

They were at one time the second
largest European bike maker.

I think I want to take that, if I'm
allowed by Roger. OK.

Two items for you, none for me and
all I can see is motorbikes.

Do you fancy a motorbike?
No, no, no...!

Come on mate - come to the
dark side!

No, no. Get a little helmet on. No!

Henry has his two items and Simon's
struggling to even find his first.

That's it, mate, you get into the
spirit of things.

I'm not in the spirit of things.

Oh, off cut of metal.

Please don't make that my item.
You'll find something, don't worry.

Well, look, LOOK - it's just a
workshop!

I'm struggling, to be honest.

But then I spot, peeking round a corner,

a little bit of bent pipe work.

What are they? I think it's a roof
rack, isn't it?

It is a roof rack, yeah.

I did think that Simon would be
clutching at straws.

What I didn't realise - he had come
out clutching a roof rack.

Developments in 1950s car
manufacturing away

from the flat chassis to the modern
car body shells allowed

for easily-removeable roof racks to
be fitted.

Because they gripped to the roof seams

of new production-line vehicles.

And Simon's planning a new life for
this one.

What was once a roof rack, has just become...

...steampunk lights!

Good, mate - excellent! Moving on.

With still one item to find, Simon's
delving deeper and darker.

It's like Frankenstein's lair.

Wow. Oh, my gosh.

Si, I'm not so sure about this
place, man.

I think there's going to be - a
nun's going to pop out

or a skeletal monk.

What's that there?

Ooh, inter... Ow! Ooh, interesting!

Here we go.

Come on, mate.

Watch those cable drums, they could
be useful.

THIS is what I'm looking at.

You've got yourself a laundry bag
trolley thing.

It's kind of that sort of thing -
it's a textiles trolley, isn't it?

Trolleys like these would have been used

to transport materials around the
working cotton mill.

They are of limited appeal as
trolleys but could be repurposed.

Are you taking this as your second
item? It's my second item, yes.

Good lad. Yeah, OK.

Let's go and find our man!
It's quite creepy down here though, still.

There's an old Royal Enfield down,
there's a REALLY old one down there.
Is there? Look at the back there.

Where?!

Bye! Simon?

Simon?!

I could've left him in there till
tomorrow, just for fun.

With two items each, it's time to
see what Roger makes of their picks.

Starting with the old motorbike.

It did run, but then unfortunately
it got drowned

in the Christmas 2015 floods.

All right.

As far as we know in the club, there
are three of those bikes

in the country.

Now, tell me about the grinding wheel.

Well, that's an example of best
Victorian cast-iron artwork.

Now, look, Roger, I would love to
take both of those,

if that's all right.

Much as I may be having slightly
second thoughts about the CZ,

considering what you've just said.
But at the same time I'm in, and as
they say in floods,

"I'm up to my neck in it."
Yes, well...

Tell me about those Neptune's
Trident things there,

is it a roof rack?

It appears to be, I didn't even know
it was here.

Looks as though it's off a large van
- Mercedes, or something similar.

My second item, they must have been
for moving the textile around?

Yeah, it's one of the ones for
wheeling the spools about.

The spools of cotton, wool, whatever
the mill was doing at the time.

Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you so much for letting us
come here, it's been a great day.

I love the fact that your
motorbike's a submersible.

Oi!
SIMON LAUGHING

Coming up, a bike that won't run.

Dag...!

A promise that shouldn't have been made.

I'm going to make something out of this...

...with two cuts.

And a language Henry can't speak.

This is where you make your mistake.

Pot calling the kettle noir,
I think!

Reclaimers and restores
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien

are on a mission to rid
the world of clutter,

then fix it and flog it for cash.

God, it's like Frankenstein's lair.

After picking up two items each
from Roger's bike workshop...

...Henry's back in Oxfordshire,

feeling rather pleased
with his haul.

Thank you, Henry, very much,
for bringing a lovely machine to me.

Is it a present?

I have taken this away
on the understanding

that there probably
could be issues within.

OK.

We're going to get it going
we're going to clean it,

and if it goes well were going
to go for a ride.

That sounds good.

Next up, the factory tool grinder.

I got this because it's a piece
of industrial history.

Hmmm?

And I didn't actually take
it because of the grinding wheel.

I took it because I thought
the stand was beautiful.

A kind of occasional
stand for flowers

or a great big
vase or something like that.

Or even kind of small a
table or something.

Yeah, OK.

First, though, the boys take a
closer look

at the flood damaged
CZ 470 Czech motor bike.

It doesn't look badly
flood damaged to me.

I mean, surely it
should be caked in rust.

Why is there no tide mark on it? You
know what I mean?

You get a tide mark, don't you,
where the alloy's a bit dull,

below the water line. Yeah.

But it's inside the engine where the
real damage may be lurking.

That doesn't look particularly
flood damaged, does it?

Whack that back on,
we're going to start it, man.

If his luck holds, Henry
may have picked a perfectly

serviceable old bike, which will
raise a healthy profit for Roger.

Quarter throttle.

Have you started these before? Yes.

Have I? Yes.

Right.

ENGINE STUTTERS

That is not happy.

Perhaps a different approach?

I'm going to do it
with the other foot.

Oh. Argh!

I think we should bump it.

Try it. OK.

Come on you, BLEEP.

Mate, that's not going to go.

All right. OK, well, the fast
route don't work, we're going

to have to take the slow road.

With progress on the motorbike
stalling, Henry's other item

is off at the powder coaters,
getting a new coat of green paint.

In Liverpool, Simon is showing his
haul to resident up cycling

specialist Gemma Longworth.

What are they?

Er, it's a roof rack.

I'm sure you have
plans for it, though, Simon.

How about if it's kind of up
in the air and

you've got a kind of steampunk
light fixture going on?

Get some really cool bulbs
to go off the ends. Yeah.

And then this can either be across
or below each other or offset.

I can see that, yeah.

Next, the old mill trolley.

Possibilities.
Very obvious, put a table on it.

Yeah, that's going to have a big
waste of space here.

You could hinge the top.

Could do, yeah.

Or stand it on end or on its side,
and put shelves in it.

I suppose, so.

It does lend itself
to that with these wooden panels.

Yes. You do what you will with
that, give that some thought.

I know exactly what
I'm doing with these.

So with lots to do, Simon starts
with the roof racks.

What I've decided to do, is to use
this one as a donor for this one,

so I'm going to take these two ends off,

they're going to be my light
fittings and these two are going to
get slid

into the middle and that's going to
be the fitting that holds it to the ceiling.

By stripping them back and inverting
the spare roof rack supports,

Simon is fashioning a stem for his
up cycled ceiling light.

This will then be screwed
into the ceiling itself.

Next he tackles the old
mill bob and trolley.

To turn it into a coffee table,

first Simon will need to make
it the right height.

I thought it was
leather but it's not.

It could be linoleum,
something like that.

Come on.

Wow!

That's kind of cool.

Now the right height,
it needs a clean outside and in.

That is as far as we're
sanding back in side.

This is going to look
completely rustic.

Back in Oxfordshire, and bikers
Henry and Guy may have worked out

the starting issues
with the old CZ motorbike.

Turn the ignition on.

I think that, actually, the ignition
system is live

once you put the key in. Ah, OK.
Right?

When you turn it to one or two,
that's a different kind of lighting.

So we've been trying to kick
it with the lights on.

Try it again, then. I'll leave the
cover off.

ENGINE STUTTERS

It's all going terribly well.

Really, really hurt my leg, man.

Did it?

Argh!

Oh, nearly.

That was close, wasn't it?

ENGINE RUMBLES

Yes!

ENGINE REVS POWERFULLLY

That's it.

No flood damage here, son!

With the old Eastern Bloc bike now
running for the first time

in 40 years, Henry's eager
to take her out for a spin.

ENGINE CUTS OUT
Argh!

I think your clutch is seized.

The clutch is gone.

Look at that bolt!

It's because the clutch isn't
working you put it in gear,

and it's tried to turn the wheel.

It's just pulled everything. It's
like, that's not clever.

Mate, we're in a lot of trouble now.
You've got no clutch on here.

There may not have been
any flood damage,

but we've managed to do plenty
more damage than the bit of water.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, no.

Bad luck, boys.

Still, the old tool grinder is back
from the paint shop.

We've had it done,
this nice light green.

Henry wants the base done
in a British racing green,

a dark green.

And, you can't really powder
coat in two colours,

so I'm just going
to paint this by hand.

Using a metal paint
in a coordinating tonne of green

should add to the finished
item's appeal.

Back in Liverpool, Simon's
using old bobbins to make

wooden supports to hold
up a glass shelf

inside his coffee table.

OK, and to disguise
the screw, drop that there.

There - make a little
pile around them.

And then we just scatter
the rest around randomly.

I love it.

With his woodwork complete, Simon
just needs to wait for two sheets

of tempered glass to arrive -

one for his shelf, and another
for a top to his

antique industrial-look coffee table.

Next, the old roof rack is ready
for its professional paint job.

Simon has chosen a topcoat of copper
paint to finish the supports,

and black for the other components.

Now dry and back at the workshop,
Gemma is briefing Neil,

the electrician.

We want to turn it into
some sort of light.

I can try and get some cables down.

Get some fittings on the end and
bring it back to ya, if that's OK.

Yeah, thanks, Neil.
All right, cheers.

With work well under way
on the first items, the boys

head off in search
of the next two items.

Simon is taking Henry
to Birkenhead to search the home

of Hillary Morris and her husband
Fred, and their dogs,

Wister and Bailey.

We started collecting and it
really just become habitual.

If Henry and Simon could create
more space, and if we could make

a few bob as well,
that would be great, yeah.

Come on, can't I just
ask you a question?

Are we supposed to be
in someone's garden?

I am not leading
you up the garden path.

Look around you, what do you see?
Lovely things.

Come meet Hillary
and Fred. All right!

Hello, hello, Fred.
How are you?

ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER
Lovely to see you.

Look at this place.
This an is Aladdin's cave.

Anyone throwing anything away,

we'll see something that can
be done with it, but watching

the professionals at work...

Where are they? Will they be turning
up in about five minutes,
I think so?

Something I do,
I always watch you.

So come on, Fred, if we do make
you any money, which we hope to,
what would it go towards?

Well, I think it will definitely go
towards the house restoration. OK.

We'll go and have a rummage.
Kettle-on time, I think.

Oh, yeah. Yes, indeed.

As ever, the boys head off to find
two items each that they can fix,

and hopefully flog for a profit.

I'll tell you what,
mate, you're right.

This is a treasure trove.
I told you, I told you.

The great thing about
Hillary and Fred's place

is there is loads of stuff
to distract Simon while I go

straight for the kill.

Jugs.

Henry has spotted a vintage pot
rack, that came to prominence

during the 18th century.

Early racks were made by blacksmiths
for storing domestic pots and pans.

That's not your kind of thing,
that's my kind of thing.

But now it's my kind of thing,
mainly because I saw it first.

Mate, you're going to be all right,

we'll find you something,
I promise you.

There's millions of stuff here.

So Henry racks up his first item.

Next, the boys head into the seller.

Actually, your... Thank you.

Ah, Sherlock O'Brien,
what have you discovered?

I detect something nice.

Is that '50s?

50s, but got a bit
of Art Deco style to it.

Most importantly, do we
know what wood this is?

I was going to say ebony,
but it's not that.

What is it? Pine?

Oak. Oak.

Art Deco was a style of
decoration and architecture

common and in the '20s and '30s.

It uses simple bold design,
and geometric shapes, like

the ones found here.

It's coming home with me,
and that will make some money.

Well... Elementary,
my dear... Watson.

No, that's me. Isn't it?

I'm sorry, I've got it all wrong.

Come on, move on, one item more.

The lads delve deeper.

That's gorgeous. It's very simple.

Naive, I believe is the term.

Naive is a term for art or design
which rejects formal techniques,

and has a bold directness
resembling a child's work.

I'm going to put that...

Hang on. ..in reserve.

Ahem. What?

HENRY MUMBLES A TUNE

Henry has grabbed a model steam
tractor built in the '70s by Mamod.

Started in 1937 by Geoffrey Malins,

the name Mamod was a portmanteau
of Malins and models.

Now the great thing about
those lovely little models,

is they actually get steam.

Rock and roll, man.

Cole would get a lot of pleasure out
of trundling that

across the workshop floor
on his hands and knees.

I have to say,
that is my second item.

There's so much more to see,
and you've jumped in.

This is what you do, you see?
This is where you make your mistake.

Pot calling the kettle noir,
I think!

Yeah, but I'm learning by
my mistakes - unlike you.

So Henry has his picks,
and we've done the seller.

But not to worry.

Stay calm, and carry on, Simon,
because there are garages and sheds
up in the garden aswell.

Simon! Yes? I detect some movement.
Oh, yes. Come on, Sherlock. Oh.

I'll give you a clue. What?

I found something really nice.
It's OK, don't give me at hand.
You just stand there. Blimey.

That's a bit of wood, son.

It's a large wooden table top.

I'm going to make something
out of this... with two cuts.

I can't wait to see.

I'll tell you what, you've got me.

OK, lean that there. OK.

Because that is two items each.

Case closed. I don't know why
I work with you.

Time to see what Hillary and Fred
make of their investigations.

Now, Hillary, tell me
about that rack there.

What was it for, and
where did it come from?

A car-boot sale.

When we were doing up the house,
I had visions of it sitting

in the middle of my
kitchen in front of pans.

Fred, tell me about that little
steam kind of

model showman's engine.

That was my 40th birthday present,
but it's been neglected of late.

Right.

Let's talk about some gorgeous wood.

Deco style oak fire surround.

That was in the house
when we moved in.

They're Right on the money right
now, that's that style.

Now, the last item here, tell me
about that, because that looks
like it has been specifically made.

It has. That was made for me.

Out of whatever it was.

Joists or something.

With the intention of it being the
top of a workbench,

which I have yet to make.

Ah. With two cuts, I can turn
that into something very lovely. OK.

Thank you so much. We have had a
real laugh today. It's been wonderful.

Thank you.
It's been amazing for us.

Come on then, the game is afoot.

The game's afoot? Yes.

This a Sherlock Holmes reference?
Oh, well done.

Coming up, Henry and Guys steam ahead.

That's it!

It's going!

Two cuts Simon cuts his losses.

I'm going home. Have a break.

I'm going home.

And hard work is appreciated
at the valuation.

That's brilliant, that.

Sultans of scrap Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien

are turning trash into cash.

This is a treasure trove. Told you.
Told you.

They have just found their latest
items and are ready to renovate.

It's just another block of wood!

First up, Simon has a simple plan
for the wooden table top.

If you do a 45 degree cut there, OK?

And then reverse the piece,
it then sits on at a right angle.

If you do the same at the other end,
you have a coffee table,

which is just a block of wood
going up and over.

Nice idea. There you go.
Next up, the oak fire surround.

My thought with this is really
just a restoration. Yeah.

I think it's very saleable
if we make the most of these

beautiful pieces, yeah? Yeah.

You sand that back, get it all
looking beautiful and I'll

just get a couple of cuts in this.

Simon sands the wood before
he starts his two cuts.

Put myself a guide on cos
this has to be a clean line.

45 degrees. And then I have to
flip it over and match exactly.

Come on.

Now, I thought I'd run out
of battery,

but if you look closely,
I think I've run out of saw.

While Simon ponders a bigger saw,
in the workshop,

Gemma is sanding back the fireplace.

I'm not sure this is oak,
which is what Simon thought.

So, that may change
our plan for this.

It looks like it's just had
a clever paint job on it.

Her sander is great for large areas,
but for fiddly areas,

folded sandpaper is the only answer.

Over in Oxfordshire,
Henry's showing his picks to Guy.

I used to have... I think mine was
identical, without the roof.

Oh, did you really? You had one?
Absolutely. Yeah.

I think we get it going and
we clean her up.

I don't think there's anything
more we should do.

No, we don't need a safety
certificate, do we? Cos it's steam.

No certificate is needed, although
adult supervision is a must.

Next up, the iron hanger.

So, basically,
get rid of the old paint, blast it,

what are we going to do
with it after that?

Paint it. Yeah, what colour,
do you reckon?

Well, with this kind of wrought
irony thing, I'd say black.

OK, I agree with you.
The frame, black.

But I think we should do the hooks
a different colour.

OK, silver? Or keep the chain black

and just have gold hooks.

So, look, I reckon it's going to
be touch and go which one gets

the most money.
Yeah, they are close, aren't they?

Yeah. Good, mate. Loving it!

The hanger is sent off to be
sandblasted and painted.

Then, they tackle the steam tractor.

We'll get it going, see if it runs.
Then, we'll clean it.

In case it goes... Yeah. OK?

Good, all right,
so I'll get the kettle on.

Hot water is added to the tractor to
help it achieve pressure quickly.

That didn't go that well, did it?

LAUGHTER
Is any going in the...?

Look at the gauge!

How's the gauge doing?
Ah. Yeah, half full.

That's it.

Then they need to wait for the
solid fuel to heat the water and

produce the steam to hopefully
drive the engine.

In Liverpool, Gemma is concerned
about the wooden fireplace.

Is it just me or does this wood
look a little bit different?

Well, someone has accentuated

the finish on the side pieces to

match the middle. And they've done a
good job. They've done an amazing...

Completely fooled me. Yeah.

With the uprights being a lower
quality timber, Gemma's going

to paint them, which she hopes will
draw the eye to the fine oak top.

That'll then be polished to
bring out its grain.

Let's think, if there is another
complementary colour that we could

pop on to there to really emphasise
the fact that it's an

Art Deco-style piece.

No problem.

Gemma gets straight to work.

So I'm using a roller, as it's
quicker, it's easier, but also,

it gives it a flatter finish and
you don't see all your brush marks.

But your brush is better for getting
in all the nooks and crannies.

So, you do need both.

Just needs another layer of paint,
then I can focus on this part.

Outside, Simon is continuing
work on the table top.

His electric saw is out of action,

so manual labour is required
to complete his two-cut table.

What seemed like a simple job
has come back to bite me.

The cut must be exactly 45 degrees,
so that when he turns the cut

timber around to make the legs, they
will form a perfect 90 degree joint.

Anything else will be just wonky.

Do you need a hand, Simon?
Yes, please.

It's going to come off now,

so try not to close the gap cos
you'll grab me saw blade.

Careful, Simon! Remember,
the cut needs to be perfect.

SIMON SIGHS

That's not a nice face.
No, it's not. It's wandered off.

It's a disaster.

Now, it looks OK.
But I assure you, it's not.

See that? It goes in.

Just by a touch.

Do you know what I'm going to say
at that point? I'm going home.

Have a break. I'm going home.

Over in Oxfordshire, the model
tractor has built a head of

steam and is ready for a test run.

That's it! That is getting better.
Ha-hey!

I reckon that's nearly a head
of steam, mate.

I'm going to try it.

Ready? Yeah. Quickly.

That's it!

Oh, she's away!

Look at that!

Mate, it works! Yeah.

Ha-hey! Come on, shake it,
shake it, baby!

That is a head of steam. It is.

The toy runs well.

So with playtime over,
Guy will get it looking like new.

Over at the paint shop,

the pot hanger has been
sprayed with a primer.

Before powder coating it black.

With the first valuation looming,

Simon and Gemma are finishing
their first finds.

Simon's making a coffee table
out of a bobbin trolley.

And just needs to fit the glass tops

to complete his coffee
table redesign.

Just need some pads
to sit the glass on.

And that's that.

So you can still see what it was
and its history is there for all

to see, with the bobbins in it,
but it's now a useful coffee table.

Love this.

Meanwhile, Gemma's making the final
touches to the roof rack.

Oh, wow!

Look at that!

Simon is going to love this!

All is well in Liverpool.

But in Oxfordshire, Guy's been busy,
tackling the broken clutch.

Have you actually fixed it?
I believe so.

The proof of the pudding is always
in the eating, though, isn't it?

Key in, fuel on, kick it!
ENGINE FAILS

Push... Full revs, son. Full revs.

ENGINE STARTS

This is good, son!

This is Eastern European
riding at its best!

The old CZ motorbike is back
in tip-top condition!

Next, the industrial grinder
is back from the paint shop.

I tell you what, that is fantastic!
It's nice, isn't it?

I think it really does look just
like I reckon it did do.

Product of hard work, son.
Yeah. Nuff said.

But Henry's not finished just yet,
as he's sourced a potential buyer.

Del? Yeah, it's a funky colour,
isn't it?

But it is an original grinder.
You know that.

Yeah, it's beautiful. It's kind
of a decorative man cavey thing.

175, mate. Come on.

Yeah, go on, then.

165, it is.

All right, mate. Yeah, I'll see
you Wednesday. OK, cheers, Del.

Bye, mate, bye, bye, bye.

Well, that's a result. 165 quid
for the grinder. Happy days!

Will he still be this pleased,
once it's been valued?

Henry's choice of location was
Roger Henderson's place in

Keighley, Bradford.

Now, Roger has come to see what
the boys have done with his

things and if they've
made him some cash.

Come on in, Roger, how are you?
Hi, how are you? Nice to see you.

Love to see you, mate. And you.

Have a look. Go and have a wander.
See what you think.

That's wonderful.
Oh, do you like it?

I do. I'm just checking to see if
you filled the lubricant pots.

Have you? No. Sshh.

Might have done.

Has he, heck?!

Aw, Henry Cole!

Sorry, right. My first criteria
was that that was a decorative item.

It's lovely.
And the colour is brilliant.

And if you look up,
there's an old roof rack above you.

That's brilliant, that!

Hey, look. Come on over,
Roger. Come on over.

Your imagination is better
than mine. Thanks, mate.

You may love it,
but have we made you any money?

Let me introduce you to Adam,
our independent valuer, who's here.

Adam Partridge owns several auction
rooms in the north west and has

valued almost anything imaginable
in his 30 years as an auctioneer.

Let's start with the little
bobbin trolley.

Great fun, I like it.

£50 was spent on tempered glass,

converting the bobbin trolley into
an industrial looking coffee table.

I would suggest that
a price of £120.

That's a healthy profit of £70 for
the coffee table.

Now, then.
Let's talk old car roof rack.

I think it's very effective,
especially in that sort of

restaurant, bistro,
trendy bar kind of thing.

The unwanted roof rack is now
a light for just £60 on powder

coating and rewiring.

I would suggest £125 on that.

I have sold it for £120.

So, £60 profit for an old junked
roof rack, now chandelier.

Adam, grinding wheel. A very
sensitive restoration. Nice colour.

A good sculptural object.

The powder coating cost £50 and
Guy did the rest of the refurb in

the workshop for nothing.

£150.

I flogged it, Roger, for 165.

So, Henry's beaten the valuation,

giving Roger a return of £115 for
the redundant tool grinder.

CZ 470 motorcycle.

Well, it's a classic Czechoslovakian
'60s workhorse, isn't it?

Henry got lucky.

A simple cost-free adjustment to
the clutch was all that was

needed to get her running again.

As it stands, I would suggest
a figure of £900 on the bike.

The old CZ 470 has
raised £900 for Roger.

So, in total, you'll be taking home,
after all our costs, £1,145.

What do you reckon?

Quite happy with that, yes. Good!

So, Henry's choice of location
has raised Roger £1,145,

which he can put towards new
workshop tools.

The first thing that took my eye was
the grinder, which looks superb.

And then, the lights. I'm very happy
with the sum that they realised.

We'd love to see Henry
and Simon again.

Yes, they're more than welcome,
any time they want.

Coming up, Simon puts in the hard
graft. Are you all right?

And Alicia's impressed
at the valuation.

Perfect upcycling, isn't it?

Restorer Henry Cole
and upcycler Simon O'Brien

are finding, fixing, and then
flogging unwanted junk to make money
for their owners.

Your imagination is better than
mine. Thanks, mate.

Henry's choice of location raised
£1,145 for Roger Henderson.

So can Simon's choice, the home
of Hillary and Fred, raise more?

In Liverpool, Gemma is putting the
finishing touches onto the fire surround.

The last thing to do is put
a nice finishing wax on

that's going to protect the wood,
give it a nice sheen,

and bring out the natural grain.

A quality wood wax is available
from DIY stores for around £12.

To finish, Gemma picks out some
details in a second colour

and the surround is finished.

I do love it, but I'm not 100%
sold...

...on these pieces here.

I've done exactly what Simon asked.

So fingers crossed, the valuer
will see it from his point of view.

Simon's second item,
a simple wooden coffee table,

should've required two simple cuts.

I'm going home. Have a break.
No, I'm going home.

But after re-cutting the timbers
at the correct angles,

Simon has finally finished
his design.

SANDER BUZZES

Are you all right?
I am sick to death...

...of this table.

12 very difficult cuts,
hours of sanding.

Do you want me to finish this?
Please.

With Simon going for a lie down,
Gemma finishes the table
with a light Danish oil.

It's been oiled, it's been waxed,
and Simon has done a brilliant job.

Well done, Simon.

But all that hard
work was not in vain.

I've put the wooden coffee table
up online.

We've had so much interest in this.

It sold for £110.

And as that was just the lad's handy
work. That's pretty much all profit.

Brilliant!

The table sold online, but will the
valuer think Simon and Gemma

got the best price for Hillary
and her husband Fred?

In Oxford, the pot hanger
is back from the powder coaters.

Can I just say something? I don't
think we should paint the hooks.

I think that is classy and lovely.

I'll tell you what
you could do with it.

Ah, yes. Eh? Ah!

Well, I think you are making some
more tea then, aren't you?

Well OK, yeah. Yeah. It's beautiful.

Henry's old adage in restoration
- less is sometimes more.

Still, that does give them more time
to restore the kids' steam engine.

The engine runs well, but the boys
want it looking its best.

So look, the paint's coming
off here, man,

but I don't care
because it still looks good.

So cleaning duties for Henry
and the polishing mop for Guy.

That is beautiful. Look at it.

Yeah, fantastic.

That's work completed in Oxfordshire.

But have they made any money?

It's time to find out
at the valuation.

Hillary and Fred have arrived to see
all the finished items

and to find out
how much money has been raised.

Hello, hello! How are you?
Lovely.

Oww! What's happened? Henry, she
just stood on me foot! So sorry.

My big feet. I've been wanting
to do that for years!

While my foot recovers,
go have a look at your stuff.

Go, there you go. Have a wander.
That is superb.

I couldn't...
Look at that natural...

There you go, yeah.
Just two simple cuts.

Wow! You said two cuts, yeah.

Look up! Oh, my goodness!

Oh, that's gorgeous! It makes me a
little bit emotional, really.

Oh, lovely. That's sweet, really.
Yeah, there you go.

Come back and join us. Come, come on
over troops. Come on over.

So, we hope you're happy with what
we've done, but have we made you
any money?

Well, that's the question, isn't it?
Well, joining us is Elisicia
to see if that's true.

Elisicia Moore runs a successful
store specialising in up-cycled
furniture.

So, she can accurately price
the boys' handiwork.

Let's look at the Mamod.

Yeah, Mamod, a British toy
manufacturer started

making toys about 1937 but came out
with this particular model
in about the 1970s.

No box, though, is that right?
No, the box disappeared.

Cos that does help with the value.
I know, I know.

Henry and Guy cleaned years of
tarnish from the old toy at no cost.

I think it would be
fair to say £100.

So that's a clear £100 profit
for the discarded old toy.

Pot hanger, hanger pot-pot!
These transcend trends,
which is what I love about them.

They're always popular.

The iron pot hanger
was blasted of rust

and powder coated black
at a cost of £45.

A quick sale, I would say £120.
I've sold it for 130 quid.

Brilliant! Is that right?

Henry's sale has pushed
the profit up to £85.

Let's start with the oak lintel
Art Deco fire surround.

I would say this is Art Deco budget.

The part-oak fire surround was sanded,

waxed, and painted at no cost.

I think a fair estimate
would be £80.

So, a straight 80 in profit
for the fire surround.

Talk to me about a slab of wood.
Now, a little coffee table.

Perfect upcycling, isn't it?
Yeah. And I quite like the angle.

I think it's a little bit more
interesting. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, a little bit. Uh, quirky.

Just answer me this - was it really
two cuts? STRAINED: No.

It cost Simon hours off his life but
no money to make this coffee table.

Oh, I think you could sell that for
£100.

Interesting you should say that,
cos I've sold it for £110.

Fantastic! So £110 profit heading
straight to Hillary and Fred.

Grand total to you to take home
- 375 quid, how's that?

BOTH: Brilliant!

Hillary and Fred are walking
away £375 better off.

Money they can spend
on their collecting hobby.

Simon and Henry have worked magic,

especially, for me, the pot hanger.

I was most impressed with what the
boys had done with that piece of
wood. Amazing.

But it was the spot chosen by Henry,

the workshop of Roger Henderson,
that made the most cash today.

You have to show me where I'm going
because I just, uh,

I got me eyes closed so I'm just
basking in the glory.

Oh, you're basking out here, yeah?
Yeah.

Yeah, well I'm going to have to put
my sunglasses on. Oh, mate.

Not cos the sun is bright,
so I don't have to see your face.

Is that sheep over there? That
reminds me - I fleeced you!

Ha-ha hey!
