Falkirk - Forgotten Model Boatlift Brought Back to Live
Will and Dan get a model of the world’s only rotating boat lift back up and running. Dom collects a precious toy that saw its owner through pioneering pre-natal treatment.
Will and Dan tackle a scale model of the world’s only rotating boat lift: the Falkirk Wheel. The wheel's missing cogs, broken bearings and underperforming motor demand precision repairs.
In the barn, Dom entrusts Wappy – a soft toy that saw Robbie through life-saving treatment in Dundee – to Julie and Amanda for a sensitive rebuild, before Will swaps timber for silver as he makes a decorative bowl with celebrated silversmith Katie Watson.
