DESCRIPTION:The team repair a microscope that once belonged to a pioneer
	ingscientist and is now in the hands of a keen youngster wishingto use it 
	once again. Elsewhere in the barn\, there arerestoration jobs on a pair of
	 well-worn war boots thataccompanied a captured soldier during the Second 
	World War andan abstract sculpture that links a mother and daughter. OnWil
	l's list is the substantial repair of a swinging bench fromIndia that thre
	atens to collapse the next time it's saton.Arriving first are eight-year-o
	ld Felix and his dad Sam fromHertfordshire. They have broughtwith them a m
	icroscope handeddown from Felix's great-grandfather John D Bernal. Felix h
	as akeen interest in science\, perhaps unsurprising considering hisgreat-g
	randfather was a pioneering figure in the field ofcrystallography and help
	ed pave the way for the scientists whodiscovered the double-helix structur
	e of DNA. But despiteFelix's enthusiasm\, he won't currently be making any
	discoveries as the microscope\, dated 1890\, no longer works.Optics expert
	 Richard Biggs diagnoses the key problem: themicroscope is missing a cruci
	al lens. He must also restore thereflective mirror that illuminates the gl
	ass slides.CobblerDean Westmoreland has an appointment with Malcolm\, who 
	isentrusting him with a very special pair of boots that saw hislate father
	 Jack through some very difficult wartime years andbeyond. Jack was captur
	ed in Norway before seeing any combatand spent five years as a prisoner of
	 war. His diaries\, whichMalcolm still has\, detail the horrific condition
	s that Jackand his fellow soldiers endured including periods of starvation
	and freezing winters. When Jack eventually returned home\, theboots came w
	ith him\, but the heel has worn down\, thestitching is falling apart and t
	he moths have attacked the feltuppers.Next to arrive is Krishna from Hertf
	ordshire. She'shoping that woodwork maestro Will Kirk can repair a swingin
	gbench that has been in her family for over 120 years. Thebench\, a tradit
	ional item of furniture from Gujarat in WestIndia\, belonged to Krishna's 
	great-grandfather\, and sheremembers it being in family members' homes as 
	a child inIndia. When Krishna had cancer\, the bench was a sanctuarywhere 
	she could recover from her chemotherapy sessions. But nowits joints are lo
	ose and precarious\, and the whole structurethreatens to break if sat upon
	. Will's plan includesdismantling the entire bench so he can assess which 
	parts needto be replaced and remade\, and he enlists Sonnaz Nooranvary tor
	estuff the upholstery.Finally\, Maria has a unique challengefor ceramics e
	xpert Kirsten Ramsay. She has brought in ahandcrafted sculpture made by he
	r mother Betina\, an artistfrom Buenos Aires\, Argentina. The marble sculp
	ture is thefirst in a triptych of works depicting a growing organicobject\
	, and it's a work of which Betina was particularlyproud. However\, when br
	ought to the UK\, it split from itswooden base\, with pieces sheared off t
	he sculpture itself.It's a tricky repair\, so Kirsten calls in Dom to assi
	st.
