0:00:03 > 0:00:06Oh, no, I like the look of your rubbish.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10How do you make money for nothing?
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I love a little rummage.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16The answer could be hiding in the 30 million tonnes of household waste
0:00:16 > 0:00:19we throw out every year.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I think that I might be able to make something out of that.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24That's why entrepreneur Sarah Moore
0:00:24 > 0:00:28wants to get her hands on things before they hit the skip.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29That... That's wartime.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm a passionate buyer, user and maker of old stuff,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and I've turned that passion into a moneymaking business.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I make new stuff out of old stuff and I sell it for a profit.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46And with some of the country's elite designers and makers...
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- That was brief.- Oh, the potential!
0:00:49 > 0:00:50No!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54..she can transform her finds into desirable...
0:00:54 > 0:00:55A work of art.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56..valuable...
0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and hopefully saleable items.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Holy moley!
0:01:05 > 0:01:06If Sarah is successful,
0:01:06 > 0:01:11then she can hand the profits back to the very people who had no idea
0:01:11 > 0:01:14there was cash to be made from their trash.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Thank you, I'm astonished!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Today, Sarah's starting at the Witley Recycling Centre in Surrey
0:01:30 > 0:01:35and like all the tips she visits, it accepts almost everything.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39There is everything coming in here today, including the kitchen sink.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Sarah's got special permission to traipse among the trash,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and she's always got her eye out for something useful.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I might keep this for a tea break.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'll be lucky to get a break round here, it's so busy.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Sorry, no time for tea, Sarah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You've got four pieces of glorious garbage to grab.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59What do you think? Does it float your boat?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Maybe keep looking.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Oh, land ahoy!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Sarah's spied a couple of chairs belonging to Claire.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Are they yours?- They are.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11How long have you had them,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and why have they got to this stage that they're going?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15They've been passed from pillar to post.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18They came to us from another friend who got them from another friend,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and they are not comfortable at all.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21I sat on them for a while...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I'm going to have a go now you've said that!
0:02:23 > 0:02:24They're not too bad.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- After a while... - You actually feel...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28You feel a little bit...
0:02:28 > 0:02:32They're all right for five minutes, but try them for 20 minutes...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34They are slightly, I can feel it going over.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38And that one's got wobbly legs, so...!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Right, so, you've totally convinced me why you're chucking them out.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44What I need to know now is, can I have them and play with them
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and see if I can do something with them?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49If you can do something with them, that would be wonderful.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51They are absolutely charming, you've made my day,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52so thank you so much for letting me have them.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Enjoy.- I'll take one, I'll be back for the other.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59While Sarah gets to grips with furniture removal,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03let's find out what Claire thinks will become of her pair of chairs.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I think she'll probably re-upholster them, put lots of padding in them,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11sort out the legs, maybe paint the legs,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and she'll probably make them look absolutely beautiful.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17And I'll probably really regret giving them away today!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I don't know why they're being thrown away,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22other than the fact that they're looking a bit drab at the moment.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24But in the hands of the upholsterer that I've got in mind,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26they're going to end up looking fantastic.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And we're going to make money here.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Anthony Devine is one of the UK's most talented teachers
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and practitioners of upholstery skills.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Anthony's appreciation of furniture design provides him with the skills
0:03:44 > 0:03:46to bring old pieces bang up-to-date.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Some chairs, you just know. You know that this is the one,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and you just know you're onto a winner.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04You can look beyond the kind of dirt and the holes and the grime,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and you think, "Yes, we've got a gem here."
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And then it's a matter of teaming it up with the right fabric.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15And then from ugly ducklings are beautiful swans.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's going to need all of Anthony's creative skills
0:04:18 > 0:04:22if the beauty of this pair of old chairs is to shine through.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm optimistically describing these as cocktail chairs,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27I think they're 1950s,
0:04:27 > 0:04:32and I'm hoping that I can create something really sophisticated
0:04:32 > 0:04:33for Anthony to latch onto.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35But they've got to look expensive.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Anthony? Hey!- Hello, how are you, you all right?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I'm very well, how you doing? - Very well, good to see you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And you. I've got some gems for you, check out these!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Hopefully, Anthony will be feeling a lot more stirred than shaken by
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Sarah's so-called cocktail chairs.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Aren't they amazing?- They are.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59They are really uncomfortable to sit in, apparently,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03and they need a really fresh update.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I was thinking you could loosely describe them as cocktail chairs, couldn't you?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You could sit and have a cocktail on it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Yeah, well, I could sit and have a cocktail on a rock, Anthony.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Doesn't make it a cocktail chair, though!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17So I'm kind of channelling Riviera,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21something gold going on... I can't help myself!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Erm, yes, it's all lipstick and glamour.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Erm, yeah, I know what you mean.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29At least they agree, I guess.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So I'm thinking fluffy, feathery, flouncy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'll make a pair of flouncy chairs for you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, if anyone can, Anthony can,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and he'll have £300 for the makeover.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49I think I stand a fair chance of making a few quid, don't I?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Yeah, I mean, I think it's just capturing the right thing with this.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- The right level of flounciness.- OK.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So, flounce-o-meters at the ready.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I, for one, have no idea what we will be coming back to.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Anthony has got such an amazing skill set.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10He can pretty much work with anything, so I've left him with
0:06:10 > 0:06:14the brief to get on with those chairs and make them fabulous.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Who knows what he's going to produce?!
0:06:17 > 0:06:22There's something just screaming out about one in the kind of volume -
0:06:22 > 0:06:24a perm or something like that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27A perm?! If you say so, Anthony.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29With £300 at stake,
0:06:29 > 0:06:34let's just hope Anthony's transformation of those chairs is a success.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I can't wait to see what becomes of them.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46That's one item in the bag, three to go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Anything exciting in here?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Sarah's travelled to the Bredbury Recycling Centre in Stockport near Manchester.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's a massive site here.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I've got hundreds of skips, loads of people coming in,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and I've got to sort out the chipboard from the Chippendale.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Well, if it's wood you're after, check out the bootful
0:07:07 > 0:07:10of tree trunk treasure coming out of Barry's car.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You've been cutting that up beautifully, haven't you?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah. It took me some time, that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17What kind of tree is it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- It's a lime tree.- Oh, OK.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21So has that been annoying you in the garden?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Yeah, I was cutting it up that size for me son's log burner,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28but it seems lime trees don't burn, don't make good firewood.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Oh, really?- It's good for carving or something, but that's about it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Really? Can I have a closer look?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, of course you can.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38The trouble is, sometimes I take things like this
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and people just laugh at me at the end!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43But I'd love to take a couple of the chunkier bits,
0:07:43 > 0:07:44if that's all right?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48What could you possibly do with a load of freshly cut lime?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, that looks like a great bundle there.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm hoping there might be something that can be done with,
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- you say it's lime?- Yeah.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Brilliant. OK, well, if I manage to get something done with this
0:07:58 > 0:07:59or make something out of it,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'll come and show you what I've done, OK?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- That'd be fine.- I would unglove... Well, let's have a gloved shake!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Thank you ever so much. - Thank you very much.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- I shall be in touch.- OK, thanks a lot.- Bye-bye.- Bye, love.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Sarah leaves with a selection of lime logs, and surprisingly,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Barry's excited at the prospect of seeing them again.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It'll be good, yeah, it'll be interesting,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21cos she can obviously see things that other people don't
0:08:21 > 0:08:24in her mind's eye, so let's see what happens.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Fiddlesticks!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, a big bundle of wood.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's got some redeeming features.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There's lots of it, that means you can do something with it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And a profit would be good.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Is this a good acquisition or is Sarah barking up the wrong tree?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Sarah has just the people in mind who will help us decide.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58In deepest West Sussex, Josh and Oli have forged a creative partnership.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05They incorporate natural materials as well as metal, concrete
0:09:05 > 0:09:10and glass, creating handcrafted furniture and sculpted pieces
0:09:10 > 0:09:12with a contemporary style.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Yeah, definitely love what we do.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I think we're really lucky in that sense.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think what makes us different is that we have got original ideas
0:09:21 > 0:09:25and we have got our own style to bring to the table.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Josh's background is in woodwork,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29but my background's in graphic design.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32But it's a really nice combination and I think we've got
0:09:32 > 0:09:35some pretty crazy ideas and think quite out of the box.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I think it does make us stand out from the rest.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Josh and Oli may be wizards with woodwork,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44but will Sarah's collection of overgrown twigs
0:09:44 > 0:09:47be just what they're hoping for?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Well, there aren't many people who will see
0:09:52 > 0:09:54a bundle of twigs as a business proposition,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57so I'm hoping Josh and Oli are among the elite few
0:09:57 > 0:09:59who can turn this lot into something saleable.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I think the boys may have their work cut out with this one.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Not exactly a dream delivery.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Hello, hello.- BOTH:- Hello.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I've got something for you.- Oh. - Shall I bring them round?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I'm tempted to say there's no need, Sarah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Some logs.- Wow. What's this, then?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- It's lime. It's fantastic, isn't it? - Oh, OK, cool.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I know I've seen people who've used natural wood like this that
0:10:27 > 0:10:28- they make stools out of.- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Those kind of three-legged milking stool type things.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yeah, those are quite good.- But I don't know if you've done anything
0:10:34 > 0:10:37else with it or if you can think of anything that might be commercial
0:10:37 > 0:10:40or... You know, we've got to make something saleable out of them.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm sure there's something to be done.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- THEY LAUGH - No?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47What if we...what if we used it to make a coffee table?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Yeah, we've got some big old rounds of beech.- Right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Maybe we could introduce that and just use these
0:10:54 > 0:10:59as some sort of leg and make quite a nice coffee table like that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- That would be really cool, wouldn't it?- That would be cool?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Yeah, it'd be cool if you had a big old ring of beech
0:11:04 > 0:11:07with, like, lots of kind of random bits coming out of the bottom.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- What, like a centipede coming out? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12OK, so it's a bundle of old firewood at the moment,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but do you think, if you introduced your lovely beech top to it,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18then we're going to make money on it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I mean, what kind of price would you want for making a big coffee table?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, I think because we've been saving those bits for so long...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29We need to have a look at the rings as well,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but maybe like £600 to £700, depending on which one we use.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- That sounds good.- Cool, OK.- Yeah?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I just think turning that bundle of stuff into something,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41you know, I'm kind of imagining something really beautiful
0:11:41 > 0:11:44that you're going to do, it will be a fantastic process to watch,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47so I'm happy, if you are, if you want to take that on.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- BOTH:- Yeah. - Go for it.- Brilliant.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Thank you.- Thanks for dropping by.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I can't wait to see what it looks like.- Yeah, yeah.- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57So, a beechwood coffee table it is. With lime legs.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, that little bundle of sticks
0:12:00 > 0:12:03could become one of our most polished projects,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06but that is a real challenge that those boys have got on their hands,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08and I hope they are up to it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10They're up to a big challenge.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Josh can even juggle, look.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17With a hefty budget of between £600 and £700
0:12:17 > 0:12:20and pretty basic raw materials to work with,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24will the bearded dudes really be able to branch out and create
0:12:24 > 0:12:28the classic coffee table they've promised Sarah?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44In Manchester, Anthony's hard at work on the pair of chairs
0:12:44 > 0:12:48he's promised to transform into flouncy, glamorous beauties.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53So, since Sarah's dropped these off, we're up to kind of this stage.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56This one's all prepped, so we've done the webbing
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and the hessian is all on.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Re-upholstering the chairs will be a multistage process using materials
0:13:03 > 0:13:05including foam, recycled felt
0:13:05 > 0:13:09and the all-important fire retardant, calico.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13And all of that will eventually make the previously uncomfy pair
0:13:13 > 0:13:15much more plush.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21We want it nice and comfortable, but this will all squeeze down
0:13:21 > 0:13:24and then make a really nice, sharp profile.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28So the finished chairs should be comfy and shapely.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Once they're reupholstered,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Anthony plans to cover them in fluffy sheepskin.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36But before he does that, he's got a trickier job.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41So we're going to try dyeing these skins.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44We're not entirely sure how we're going to do it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46This is a complete unknown science.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50This could go brilliant, and stumble across something great,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53or we could be thinking of a plan B.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Happily, Anthony's going to be assisted in this endeavour
0:13:57 > 0:13:58by his partner, Susie.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Well, we've dyed fabric before, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We haven't dyed sheepskin rugs before.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Cos we need to get a specific colour.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09We want to try and make rose quartz, because it's bang on trend.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Marvellous. To dye them,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16they'll use a highly pigmented furniture paint diluted with water.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19We have this colour here, this pink here,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20which isn't quite the right colour.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23We're going to try and put a little bit of this colour in to darken it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Not only do we have to try and get this shade,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29we have to get the right quantity and the right amount of water
0:14:29 > 0:14:32so that we can get this the right colour.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36They need all the sheepskins to dye exactly the same colour,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38which might be a big ask,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42as is agreeing on the shade in the first place.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Like anything in life, I prefer it being a bit more intense.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Erm, but just because of the volume of water
0:14:48 > 0:14:52we're now going to have to mix with it to dye the fabric,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55it will almost lose some of the intensity.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I think it's the right kind of...tone.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Shall we do that? Think that's enough?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06With the colour agreed, Susie adds enough water to dilute it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Nowt to this dying process, is it? It's quite easy.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13It is for you, Anthony, because Susie is doing all the work.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm saying nothing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Come on, love!- He might have to get his hands dirty during the alfresco
0:15:20 > 0:15:23dipping, though. This is the important bit.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- Right, go on, then.- Ready?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Ant's still looking work-shy.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Baaaah!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31That's not helping.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- That's quite pink. - You wanted it quite pink.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Seriously, is this how companies dye their fabrics?
0:15:38 > 0:15:45Not exactly. They tend to use state-of-the-art techniques and equipment - not a rubbish bin.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48At the moment, I'm a little bit like,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50"Ooh, which way is it going to go?"
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Me too!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's not an exact science, so, yeah,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57we just have to hope that it's going to work out OK in the end.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01They've got a lot more careful work to ensure those sheepskins
0:16:01 > 0:16:05all end up in the pink. The same shade of pink, that is.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Stop it! You're flicking it on me, stop it!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think we'll leave them to it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Back in Sussex, Oli and Josh have made a start
0:16:27 > 0:16:30on the lime-legged coffee table.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35They've been to collect the large beechwood round
0:16:35 > 0:16:38which they've been saving for a special project.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43This is going to be just as it is.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47We'll try and keep the bark on for the top of this coffee table.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51We're also going to put in some of these little dovetail keys
0:16:51 > 0:16:54across the splits. One, it will stop it
0:16:54 > 0:16:57from making the split any bigger,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and two, it makes a feature out of the splits as well.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Put those in all of the splits and hopefully
0:17:03 > 0:17:05it should look pretty cool after that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Because it's such a wedge, and obviously we want a nice flat slab
0:17:09 > 0:17:12as the tabletop, we've just got to figure out
0:17:12 > 0:17:14how we're actually going to flatten it off.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17So just running through a couple of options trying to work that out.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Option one - the angle grinder.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24It's very effective, but to take a few centimetres' depth
0:17:24 > 0:17:28off the whole surface will take Oli an extremely long time.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35What about using the chainsaw in some way?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Just have to be very, very careful.- Yeah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Might save a bit of time, though, if it does work.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I think it's worth giving it a go.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yeah?- Simple.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52For any youngsters watching at home just now,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56customising your skateboard with a chainsaw may look pretty cool,
0:17:56 > 0:18:01but honestly, it's not a good idea, which led to a rethink for the boys.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05We're just trying to rig up some sort of jig where we can slice
0:18:05 > 0:18:09a bit more off the beech with the chainsaw.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11But who knows if it's going to work.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Looks like your jig needs a rejig to me.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Oli and Josh decide that a towel for cushioning
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and ratchet straps are the answer.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Take two.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Without this bit of wood, their table is toast, and there are
0:18:30 > 0:18:32no second chances if this goes wrong.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I can barely watch.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's going to be nice grain in there, look.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So far, so good.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Good luck with the rest, Oli.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Meanwhile, Josh moves on to the lime logs,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53soon to be table legs, hopefully.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57He's turning them in the lathe and using a turning tool
0:18:57 > 0:19:00to slowly remove thin layers of wood
0:19:00 > 0:19:02until it's down to the desired depth.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04It's got a nice little pattern on the end.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And makes a nice pattern where it was held in place.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Pity no-one will see that bit.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Right, so I've just finished turning the tenons
0:19:12 > 0:19:14on our three legs.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19I've got to do the final sand on this top first,
0:19:19 > 0:19:24and then I'm going to drill some holes for our legs to slot into.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, really, the next thing is to take this beast
0:19:27 > 0:19:30and go stick it through the machine.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The boys are making good progress,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38but after all that chainsawing Oli deserves a tea break.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39HE SLURPS TEA
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Oh, Josh. Drink your tea properly. Thank goodness Oli has some manners.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45HE SLURPS TEA
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Don't copy him!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52That's it, I'm off.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57You'd better cut that out by the time Sarah gets here.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think that makes me the winner.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Actually, she's worse than the two of you put together.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's back to Manchester now.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And Sarah's heading to Anthony's workshop to find out
0:20:14 > 0:20:18how he's got on with the two mid-century chairs she brought in.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And you know what? Anthony isn't his usual confident self.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I have to say, I'm a little bit apprehensive this time
0:20:26 > 0:20:32because it's far removed from my normal kind of modern, urban styles
0:20:32 > 0:20:36that I'm used to, into something that, to be honest,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I don't think I've even named or could name, so...
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Yeah, going to have to see how this one goes down.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Well, I optimistically called my pair of chairs "cocktail seating".
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, if Anthony's managed to transform them into money-makers,
0:20:51 > 0:20:52it's drinks on me.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56These mid-century chairs
0:20:56 > 0:21:00were more stale beer down the pub than cocktails on the beach
0:21:00 > 0:21:02when they first came to Anthony.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Well, they've certainly gone from dull and dated
0:21:13 > 0:21:15to striking and unique.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26The sheepskin is a lovely rose quartz colour,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30and gives the chairs a real wow factor.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32The material is from a duvet cover
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and delivers a definite floral punch.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Without a doubt, these chairs are full of character,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46but I reckon they'll divide opinion, and Anthony's about to hear Sarah's.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- They rock!- Do you like them?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I love them!- The twins are ready to hit the town.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53They're fantastic.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Slightly bonkers.- Of course.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Really cool, well done!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Thank you very much. I think they have a little something about them.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04They're interesting, they are funky, they have a sense of humour,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and they look lovely. They look comfortable.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Sarah thinks they're fantastically bonkers, and you know what?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I agree. Best of all, Ant's stayed bang on budget.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Cocktails are going to be on me.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Yes, so... Cocktails on you?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, look at them! I'm going to make money, cos 300 quid on the budget?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Yes, I mean...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26easily get that for them, would you not?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Oh, yeah. You put them right back into the marketplace,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31because think of the tip, look at them now - genius.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yeah, they're quite...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36They're really cool. I can't thank you enough. Honestly.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Fantastic.- Another successful one.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Really, really cool.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm going to sell those instantly.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'll tell you when I do, all right?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Confident words there. Let's just hope you're right.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53When Sarah spotted the pair of chairs at the tip,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Claire couldn't wait to get rid of them.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58They're not comfortable at all. I sat on them for a while...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'm going to have a go now you said that.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01They're not too bad.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05And that one's got wobbly legs, so...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, OK, you've totally convinced me why you're chucking them out.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11If you can do something with them, that would be wonderful,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and then I'll probably want them back, won't I?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I think it's safe to say, since Anthony's makeover,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Claire wouldn't recognise them.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22But she won't have the chance to stake her claim,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26as they were snapped up by a regular client of Sarah's, Nick Smith,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28who wanted them for his online shop.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31They are absolutely lovely, love them.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Yeah. I think the wife is going to want to keep them, though, that's the only problem.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Everyone's a winner, and no more so than Claire.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Sarah's come to her home in Northchapel, West Sussex,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46to show her what happened to the tip-bound chairs.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Hi, Claire!- Hi!- How are you doing? - It's nice to see you again.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53When I last saw you, you were dropping off a pair of chairs.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Explain why they were ending up at the tip.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Well, they ended up at the tip because they were literally so uncomfortable.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02And, try as we might, they just weren't going to work.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Yeah, so, we took them away, but did you think, "I wonder what they'll do with them"?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I did. I didn't know whether you would put arms on them,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10whether you'd just keep them plain,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14whether it would be a reupholster, so, yeah, I'm really intrigued to see what you've done with them.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well, I think that they turned out really, really well.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Oh, my goodness, wow!
0:24:19 > 0:24:23They have been given a proper new, new look.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27They really have! I think it's amazing, it's really original,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30and someone's obviously worked really hard to do that.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Well, in their normal state, they're 60, 70, £80, maybe,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37for a chair like that, but with that kind of look,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39they actually have a bit more value to them.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Oh, really?- Yeah, so I've actually got some profit here for your chairs.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45They've been bought by a retro company in Lincolnshire,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and here I have £250...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- For you.- That's amazing! - For your lovely chairs.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Good grief, that's incredible,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57considering we were just about to launch them into a skip!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well, that's fantastic.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01We loved working on them, they were really inspiring,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- and everybody who was involved with them really sort of enjoyed the whole process, so...- Oh, good!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Thank you very much. - It's a pleasure, lovely to see you.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09- And you.- Bye-bye.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Thanks to the amazing talents of Anthony,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19the chairs cost £300 to transform and sold for 550,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22giving Claire a sizeable £250 profit.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Well, Claire's chairs could have ended up in a skip,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31but they're now comfortable, beautiful and profitable.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Our first item's made a good bit of money,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42and to search for another potential profit-maker,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Sarah's travelled to Walsall in the West Midlands,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47where there's a place for everything,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49and everything must go in its place.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51In metal? In metal? Yep.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm now a recycling expert.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Expert, you don't say?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Well, let's put that to the test with a quick quiz.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Plusboard and rubble's down there.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Ceramics and tiles up at the end, please.- Yeah.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Anything like a sofa bed, you can either put in large bulky items,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09or if it's a recliner chair, I'd put it in metal.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- How about cooking oil?- Cooking oil? There's a container over there for cooking oil.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Impressive! Most impressive.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Is there a once-prized possession waiting to be cherished again
0:26:23 > 0:26:25in Richard's van?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You got that well stacked-up in there, then?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Yes.- Wow!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Oh, my word. What have you been breaking up?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's my... Well, my nan's passed away.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Oh, no, I'm so sorry. - Not long ago, but, yeah,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41so it's just a couple of the things out the bedroom, really.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Just to get rid before we try and sell it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- OK, would you mind if I look when you're taking stuff out?- No.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Richard is happy for Sarah to have a look in his van,
0:26:51 > 0:26:56and perhaps rejuvenating an item belonging to his nan could,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59in a small way, be a tribute to her.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03You bad boy! Look at that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It was typical Nan and Grandad's house.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Lots of sideboards, lots of, er...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You're breaking my heart, do you know that?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'd have loved that, I know I would.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Beautiful and useful, you can't beat it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Now, I like the look of that. That's lovely.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Hidden in amongst the bits and bobs,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Sarah thinks she's found the perfect item.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27So, tell me about this. You haven't smashed this up?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30No. That was just on the end of the bed.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Oh, wow.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So it was all painted to look like wood?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's lovely. I want it. Can I have it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yeah, perfect, no problem. - Brilliant, let me take that away.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I think I shall be able to carry that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46That is lovely.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Thank you so much.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56If Sarah's going to transform this old tin trunk into a treasure chest,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59she's going to need some serious help.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03But don't worry - she knows just the fella.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Daniel Heath has a passion for all things sustainable.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16An award-winning wallpaper and textile designer,
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Daniel loves adding an artistic flair to reclaimed materials,
0:28:21 > 0:28:26to create made-to-order furniture and contemporary design pieces.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28When I was a kid,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31me and my brothers would go and get bikes out of skips
0:28:31 > 0:28:36and take them to pieces, fix them up, cobble them together,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39tinker around with them until we had bikes we could ride around.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And that was great to just find out how things work,
0:28:42 > 0:28:47how things can come to pieces and be restored and how things can still
0:28:47 > 0:28:50have a value even though they've been chucked in the skip.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Let's hope Daniel can see the value in the old tin trunk.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59This trunk is a very lucky trunk.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02First, it was saved from the tip, now, it's going to see Daniel Heath.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Hiya!- Hello, Sarah! How you doing? - Yeah, really well.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Look at my treasure I've got for you.- Wow!
0:29:12 > 0:29:14What do you think?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18It's great. I thought it was wood when you came in, but it's...
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- It's really tin, isn't it? - It's not the prettiest piece,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26but it has got potential to be useful
0:29:26 > 0:29:29and hopefully, in your hands, beautiful as well.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32To make it into something else, I mean,
0:29:32 > 0:29:33I suppose if we...
0:29:36 > 0:29:40..sort of turned it over, we could make it into some sort of cabinet.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41That's a great idea.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Do you know, that is actually quite clever.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Sarah could be right. This trunk is in luck.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53You know, if we put it up on some hairpin legs,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55it changes its functionality,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58it makes it into a furniture piece rather than just a chest.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01OK, so what kind of thing were you thinking?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Is it sort of like drinks cabinet or something?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Well, yeah, maybe a drinks cabinet.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I'm a massive cocktails fan, I can't help it!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I'm always trying to make people make things to put alcohol in.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Only ever have one!
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Excluding the contents, how much will this cocktail cabinet cost?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22With all the materials, how much do you think it's going to be to transform it like that?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I think we could probably do it for around 275.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28You're making it into something that is aspirational, aren't you?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Not everybody has one hanging around at home, do you?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32And I think that 275...
0:30:32 > 0:30:36I've got margin to make on that and can I mix the first cocktail?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38You certainly can, you certainly can. I'll have one too.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- OK. What do you like?- Er, I actually like a White Russian.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- So, see you for the White Russians.- OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I hope that Daniel cracks on with that trunk and finishes it really
0:30:52 > 0:30:56quickly, because I want to be back here having celebratory drinks
0:30:56 > 0:30:58and counting the profit I might make.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Sarah's intoxicated on the profit potential.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08But I'm thinking cocktail cabinets are a niche market.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I'm really glad Sarah's brought this along, cos I think, you know,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I'm going to have to do something that I haven't really done before.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I haven't done a cocktail cabinet before.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So let's make this one into a really special one.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27Daniel's agreed a fee of £275 including labour and materials,
0:31:27 > 0:31:32to turn this dreary tin trunk into a glamorous cocktail cabinet.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50Sarah has returned to West Sussex to find out how Josh and Oli
0:31:50 > 0:31:54have got on with the load of lime logs she left them with.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Let's cover this baby up.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Yeah, so I'm really excited for Sarah to come cos,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03from the pile of little sticks that she gave us,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I think we've created something quite cool.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I think we're pretty happy with the final outcome,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10so hopefully Sarah will be too.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I love commissioning a table, but leaving 600 to 700 quid
0:32:14 > 0:32:17and a pile of old sticks, that is a real challenge.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I hope the boys have pulled it off.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23When Sarah picked up the uninspiring limewood sticks,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25they were ready for the skip.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Oli and Josh have exceeded expectations this time.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37With a cross-section of beech tree,
0:32:37 > 0:32:41they've created a beautiful woodland coffee table
0:32:41 > 0:32:43using the limewood as the legs,
0:32:43 > 0:32:47only three of which touch the ground.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The rest add a decorative feature, floating as if in mid-air.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56The beech top has been sympathetically varnished and waxed,
0:32:56 > 0:33:00showing the wood's natural characteristic to the full.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Finally, walnut wooden wedges have been carved and put in place
0:33:04 > 0:33:08to prevent further expansion of the cracks.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Hello?
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- Hello.- Oh, it's busy around here. How are you doing? Hello.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- You all right? - Yeah, really well.- Good.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Is that it?- This is that. - It's huge.- It is, isn't it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Come on!- Yeah?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Guys, it's beautiful.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29That is amazing.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Well done! That's fabulous. - Thank you.- I love it.- Good, good.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Are you pleased with it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Yeah, very pleased.- Yeah, we almost don't want to let it go, actually.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Oh, really? Well, maybe we can do a deal.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42That is so clever.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45It looks like hardly any of it is touching the ground.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Is it supposed to be like that? - BOTH:- Yeah.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49There's three legs.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- It's so interesting, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- Well, this slab of beech is such a nice bit of wood.- It is lovely.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- So this is the bit you've been saving for ages, is it?- Yeah.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I love what you've done with these bits.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02They look like a nightmare to do. Are they difficult?
0:34:02 > 0:34:07We make it up and cut it into the shape first,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- and then you can slice off your keys.- OK.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13And then you have to place your key over the split where you want it
0:34:13 > 0:34:15and really finely draw around it,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19and then you can, using a router, take out the meat of it,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21and then you've got to finish it off by hand with a chisel.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Just to get that lovely, sharp, crispy...- Yeah.- ..edge to it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28So, these ties, it's mainly just a visual thing,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- making a feature out of the splits. - Yeah. It works really well.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Have you counted? How old is it?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35No, we haven't actually. It's going to take a while.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36While you're counting that,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38maybe we could discuss some other figures.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39How was the budget?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Well, I think we said £600 or £700. - Yeah.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45And I think we'd be happy with £700.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Well, I think you've done a fantastic job.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48I'm very pleased with that.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Good.- So, are you going to help me out with it, then?- Yeah.- No.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Oh, Josh!
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Some designers would be really stumped
0:34:57 > 0:34:59if you left them with a pile of old twigs,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01but Josh and Oli have completely made that their own.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Somebody is going to love that table.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05She seemed really chuffed.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07And, like, as are we.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I mean, this is a great project and I really enjoyed working on it.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13And, yeah, it's something that we love to do as well,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15working with big old slabs like this.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Sarah's spotted Barry back in Bredbury,
0:35:19 > 0:35:23and he already had a handle on what his wood could be used for.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25It's good for carving something, that's about it.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Really? Can I have a closer look?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Yeah, of course you can.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34Sarah was so taken with the lime logs that she took them away.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37In the capable hands of Josh and Oli,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40it became the legs of a wonderful woodland coffee table.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43In order to drum up a sale,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Sarah advertised the table on social media.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49She has now returned to near Bredbury
0:35:49 > 0:35:53to show Barry what became of his boot full of lime.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Hi, Barry.- Hello. How are you?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Yeah, I'm really well. Nice to see you.- And you, yes.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Loving your house. All these lovely old-fashioned details.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You're not dropping this off at the tip yet, are you?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09No, no, I don't think so. Couldn't afford to replace it!
0:36:09 > 0:36:12So, your big lime tree, that was in the garden here, was it?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Blocking all the light out.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17And I took the little bundle of logs,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I took it off to quite near me, actually, in West Sussex,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22to some great lads called Josh and Oli,
0:36:22 > 0:36:27who love using natural wood in the round and twigs and logs.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30So, what do you think we did with them?
0:36:30 > 0:36:31I'd have thought something nice,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I'd have thought something like a wind chime.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I'm sure it's going to be good, whatever you've done with it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- I've got some pictures to show you. - Smashing.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Your lime logs have been put to good use and made into a coffee table.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Well, that's good, isn't it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:50They have put pretty much all the ones I collected underneath
0:36:50 > 0:36:53to make some legs. Only three of the legs touch the ground.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- That's brilliant, isn't it? - Do you approve?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58What a good job. Yeah, yeah.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Really, really good. - I haven't managed to sell it yet.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04It's one of those pieces I need people to get their hands on
0:37:04 > 0:37:07and really appreciate all the craftsmanship that's gone into it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Yeah.- When I have sold it,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12I'm sure there'll be profit to bring back to you.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14So I don't know... If I can make a bit of money,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I don't know if you've got any ideas what you might do with it?
0:37:17 > 0:37:21I think something like Teenage Cancer Trust, you know,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23they're always looking for money, them sorts of trusts,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25but Teenage Cancer, I think, yeah.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27That'll be a good stopping point, that.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30OK, well, I'm spurred on even more to try and sell it and I'm hoping
0:37:30 > 0:37:33there'll be a buyer out there who loves it as much as I do,
0:37:33 > 0:37:34cos I think it's a great piece.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I look forward to you selling it,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39obviously now, I can give it to charity.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Yeah, great, what a good job, yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Smashing.- Thank you ever so much.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Thank you very much.- Bye-bye. - Bye now. Bye.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56The coffee table cost £700 to have commissioned from Josh and Oli.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01As yet, it remains unsold, which could mean a potential loss.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05However, I have no doubt that a sale is imminent.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Well, there's profit be made on that table, and as soon as I've sold it,
0:38:09 > 0:38:13I'll be back in touch with Barry and hopefully handing over a profit.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21With just one thing left to find,
0:38:21 > 0:38:24it's back at the tip and Sarah's on the prowl.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I'm looking for one last piece of recycling.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Come to Mummy! What's in the disco?
0:38:29 > 0:38:30You go, girl!
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Whatever Sarah picks up next, she'll be working on herself.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39And she's spotted Graham, who's been fundraising for his
0:38:39 > 0:38:42mini wildlife sanctuary he runs from home.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46What are you throwing out today? What are you clearing out?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Well, we've got our bazaar on Sunday
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and people do bring in bits and pieces.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Yeah, some of which are suitable and some which aren't.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Is that what were saying?
0:38:56 > 0:38:57No, I understand that.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00When you're donating things, you bung it all in.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02I've got some old fairy wings in there, you know, and I thought, "No."
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- There's a great temptation for me... - No, no, me too.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Would it be all right to have a little rummage in your rubbish
0:39:09 > 0:39:12to see if there's anything we might be able to make some money out of?
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Graham takes in sick and injured wild animals,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18something that Sarah's very familiar with herself.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Thank you.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I had three pet foxes when I was growing up.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Good.- I used to look after them.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Two owls and a kestrel, I had, when I was growing up.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Most people are happy with a goldfish.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Graham has already dropped off plenty of picture frames
0:39:33 > 0:39:35for Sarah to rummage through.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Yeah, I'd really like to try and make some money for you.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40There's one, that's quite sweet.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Look, it's a silver plate or something.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45So we'll have a look at that one.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47There's a little bundle of vintage and retro ones.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Maybe if I put a postcard or something in there,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I could sell them and raise a bit of money.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Bit of embroidery? Maybe. Right.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59These frames weren't promising enough to make it
0:39:59 > 0:40:00into Graham's own jumble sale,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03so Sarah is going to have her work cut out with this a lot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Lovely to meet you today.- And you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Thanks ever so much.- You take care. - OK, bye-bye.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25The beautiful Sussex countryside,
0:40:25 > 0:40:27the place Sarah calls home.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31And she's keen to get stuck into that box of jumble sale cast-offs.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Listen to this. "My mum and me on front donkey.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41"Fred in rear.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44"Think I was about three years old, perhaps younger.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48"Uncle Joe in boater, my father taking photo."
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I would love to have seen who Uncle Joe was and what the boater
0:40:52 > 0:40:54looked like and who Mum was,
0:40:54 > 0:40:57but I'm afraid we're just going to have to imagine that.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00They are such sweet things all with their little notes on the back.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04It's a real pocket history of somebody's family here.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07These may look like a collection of simple ordinary frames but you never
0:41:07 > 0:41:11know what you might find, and Sarah is onto something.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16No way. Look. Look!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Can you see them?
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Can you see the one in the middle?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22That's a lion, so, solid silver, sterling silver.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26This is British Art Deco silver frame.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That is a little gem in this bundle.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33I've got a silver cloth. I'm hoping if I give this a polish,
0:41:33 > 0:41:38some of it's... Oh, look, that is going to be amazing.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I think there's about 50 years of tarnish on here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45At least that. You know, this is Art Deco, I'd say, so...
0:41:45 > 0:41:47We're looking at a frame probably 100 years old
0:41:47 > 0:41:50and it's got this pattern on it. It's called engine turning.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54As you see, it's all very, very crispy,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57and repetitive, because it was done by machine.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58So when they first started doing that,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01everything was covered in it because they absolutely loved it.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Great spot, Sarah.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Engine turning is the decoration of metal or ceramic objects with fine
0:42:07 > 0:42:11geometric patterns similar to the patterns found on banknotes.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15That is looking a lot better.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19It is made of solid silver but there's not heaps of silver there
0:42:19 > 0:42:21because it's quite fine, but as a design piece,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I think that's where the value is because it looks beautiful.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I'll put the surround back into it
0:42:26 > 0:42:28and the back on it and then probably have a look
0:42:28 > 0:42:32and see what I can find online to see what kind of examples...
0:42:32 > 0:42:34and what they're selling for.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Finding that gem of a silver frame is not enough to stop Sarah
0:42:37 > 0:42:41attempting to maximise profits from her haul.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45And all it takes is a spruce-up and a splash of colourful wallpaper
0:42:45 > 0:42:47to prepare the remaining frames.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Let's hope that looks all right on that side.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Yeah. No, look at the bottom.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Not annoying or anything!
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Now, what about that solid silver frame?
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Right, let's have a look. "Art Deco frame".
0:43:07 > 0:43:09There's one.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13"Art Deco sterling silver engine-turned frame."
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Do you know something? They are expensive.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Look, even this one, £275.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22I really like you.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25These frames have cost Sarah nothing so far,
0:43:25 > 0:43:29but can that silver frame live up to its potential worth
0:43:29 > 0:43:30when Sarah tries to sell it?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38Back in Walthamstow, north-east London,
0:43:38 > 0:43:40the cocktail cabinet is in full swing.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45Daniel has brought in his assistant Laura to lend a hand.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47That's looking better already, Laura.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50- Yeah, it's not bad, is it?- Not bad.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54They've applied a primer coat of paint and are now on the second coat
0:43:54 > 0:43:56of the finish, a soft cream.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00It's lighter than we were going to do,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03we were going to do quite a dark blue,
0:44:03 > 0:44:05but actually I think because of the size of it,
0:44:05 > 0:44:07I think that would be quite imposing in this space.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11So we're going with something quite light and then as you open it,
0:44:11 > 0:44:16on the inside, you're going to have this glamour of the kind of...
0:44:16 > 0:44:19opulent lining that we're going to put inside.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22Opulent, eh? That sounds exciting.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25How exactly will that be achieved?
0:44:27 > 0:44:30This is the wallpaper that we're going to use.
0:44:30 > 0:44:37This is our hand-screen-printed onyx skyline design in gold and black.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41All of these designs are designed by me
0:44:41 > 0:44:44and they're screen-printed here in our London studio.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47I think it's going to be quite nice.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- How's it going?- Er...
0:44:52 > 0:44:58Yeah, it's good. I'm just thinking in terms of the hinges,
0:44:58 > 0:45:01how you want the wallpaper to sit inside.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Oh, yeah. I see what you mean.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Actually, we probably don't need them, do we?
0:45:05 > 0:45:09Because the hinges are there to kind of keep the lid open when it's...
0:45:09 > 0:45:12- the trunk is the sort of normal way up.- Mm-hm.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15So maybe we should take them out somehow.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21I think it might be time to break out the power tools.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23DRILL WHIRS
0:45:29 > 0:45:31- How's it going? - Not particularly well.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33How come?
0:45:33 > 0:45:37It doesn't seem to be going through enough on this side,
0:45:37 > 0:45:41but I think a bit of perseverance and we should get it off.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Perseverance...and a crowbar.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51But even that's no match for the sturdy hinge.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58When the drill won't do the job and the crowbar just won't cut it,
0:45:58 > 0:46:01what are you going to do?
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Doesn't seem to be working, using the...the drill,
0:46:05 > 0:46:09so I might use an angle grinder, just to grind through this bolt.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Look at those sparks fly!
0:46:16 > 0:46:19An angle grinder is a heavy-duty metal cutter,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22so if this doesn't do it, I don't know what will.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Got it! Pretty tough to grind through.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30That's probably why it's lasted so long.
0:46:30 > 0:46:35I'm not sure how much longer it'll last now it's in your hands, Daniel.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Whoops-a-daisy!
0:46:41 > 0:46:42It went.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47One problem solved, but another presents itself.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49The paint is chipping.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53Daniel's been using a paint designed for interior metal
0:46:53 > 0:46:54such as radiators.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57It's just chipping.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00But it might not be up to the task in hand.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03I just don't know whether it's strong enough.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05- Do you know what I mean?- Mmm.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09It's back to the drawing board for Daniel.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Back in deepest Sussex...
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Today, Sarah is hosting a barn sale featuring her own handiwork
0:47:26 > 0:47:28and others from local artisans.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33And there's interest in some of her refurbished picture frames.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38I think they're absolutely beautiful.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41They are just what I was looking for. Can I give you £10?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43- Really?- That'll be... Yes, it'll be my pleasure.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46- Delighted with them. Thank you. - Oh, lovely, excellent.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47Come with me to the till.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52That's two frames sold and if the others don't sell today,
0:47:52 > 0:47:54they'll be going straight online.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58Sarah is now concentrating on getting the best price
0:47:58 > 0:48:00for her star item, the solid silver frame.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06She's travelled to the Bourbon Hanby Arcade in central London,
0:48:06 > 0:48:09home to antiques expert, Ian Towning.
0:48:09 > 0:48:15This is engine-turned, made in Birmingham in about 1926, 1927.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21- What is important is the silver is in good condition.- OK.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22If that is in good condition,
0:48:22 > 0:48:25there's a chance we can do something with it
0:48:25 > 0:48:27because they're beautiful pieces.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31With the silver being undamaged and Ian recognising the potential,
0:48:31 > 0:48:34he was keen to make Sarah an offer.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37If I was selling to an end user who is looking for a christening present
0:48:37 > 0:48:40or something like that, I'd be looking for different money,
0:48:40 > 0:48:43but I think that's lovely of you to make that offer
0:48:43 > 0:48:47so I think I'm going to say - I'll take your offer.
0:48:47 > 0:48:48You'll take my offer.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51While at the dump in Witley,
0:48:51 > 0:48:56Sarah spotted Graham with a boot-full of jumble sale rejects.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57People do bring in bits and pieces.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Yeah, some which are suitable and some which aren't.
0:49:00 > 0:49:01Is that what we're saying?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03He was raising money for his animal sanctuary
0:49:03 > 0:49:06and these frames didn't make the cut.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- Lovely to meet you today.- And you. - Thanks ever so much. Goodbye.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11After some TLC,
0:49:11 > 0:49:15a barn sale at home was the perfect place to sell the simple frames,
0:49:15 > 0:49:19but the silver star of the show was taken further afield.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Sarah has now returned to Witley to show Graham what became
0:49:22 > 0:49:26of his jumble junk and to hand over the cash.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35- Hi, Graham.- Hello, Sarah. - Lovely to see you again.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37- And you.- It looks like you're busy.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39How many of these people have you got round here?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Don't ask me to count.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43When I last saw you, you were having a big clear out of stuff
0:49:43 > 0:49:46- before a sale, is that right? - Just a bit, yeah.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49- And how did the sale go? - Very well. Very well indeed.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Now, the stuff that I took from you,
0:49:51 > 0:49:53- there was a box which had some old frames in it.- That's right.
0:49:53 > 0:49:57So I took the frames and used some old wallpaper.
0:49:58 > 0:50:03That's amazing how it transfers itself from just a bit of old junk.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08- That's amazing.- Amongst them, there was a lovely frame, actually.
0:50:08 > 0:50:12It was an Art Deco silver frame.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18So I took it to London and I took it to an antique dealer
0:50:18 > 0:50:20and he made me a really good offer on it.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22So I did accept the offer
0:50:22 > 0:50:24and there is some money for you, actually.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26- Brilliant.- There is...
0:50:27 > 0:50:30..£4 here...
0:50:30 > 0:50:33- Oh, excellent!- And £200 there.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36And that's all for you to do whatever you need to do with it.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37You're joking!
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Oh, my God! That is amazing.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45That is amazing. That is definitely money for nothing there.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47I just can't believe that.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Thank you very much! - It's an absolute pleasure.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I can't think of a more worthy recipient.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54- Thanks ever so much.- Thank you.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56- Bye now.- Bye!
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Aww! I think that's the first time
0:50:58 > 0:51:01Sarah's had a cuddle handing over money.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05There was no cost incurred sprucing up the frames.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Sarah made £10 from the barn sale,
0:51:08 > 0:51:13£150 from the Art Deco silver frame and another £44
0:51:13 > 0:51:17from selling seven of the more simple frames online.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20That's £204 profit.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Graham was clearly so pleased with that and you get a really warm
0:51:25 > 0:51:28fuzzy feeling handing over money for nothing.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36That's another success story.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39So the pressure's on Daniel and his cocktail cabinet.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42I hope he's fixed that paint problem.
0:51:45 > 0:51:50Sarah's made her way to Walthamstow in London to check it out.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53So, I'm expecting the rusty tin trunk that I dropped off
0:51:53 > 0:51:55to be transformed into something fabulous
0:51:55 > 0:51:57with the work of Daniel Heath.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00He mentioned cocktails - I'm well up for that.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Hold on, YOU mentioned the cocktails!
0:52:03 > 0:52:06I do hope that Sarah agrees that we've done something
0:52:06 > 0:52:09good with this trunk.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12But, you know, it was completely on its knees,
0:52:12 > 0:52:16so I think anything that we did to it was going to improve it.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Yeah.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Nice philosophy, Daniel.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Will Sarah be toasting your success or drowning her sorrows?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35The bold blue gloss paint was a brave choice.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39It immediately attracts the eye and makes this item a focal point
0:52:39 > 0:52:43in any room, just as a cocktail cabinet should.
0:52:48 > 0:52:53Daniel's Art Deco wallpaper is a little bit lush and, all in all,
0:52:53 > 0:52:57I think this will add the wow factor to any interior.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03I'm impressed.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04But what about the boss?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- So, are you pleased with how it's gone?- Yeah.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Brace yourself, brace yourself.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11OK... Here we go.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19It's so cool, isn't it?
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Oh, Daniel! It's really cool, isn't it?
0:53:21 > 0:53:23It's quite fun. Um...yeah.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27And lovely little brass details. Those are really good, aren't they?
0:53:27 > 0:53:31Yeah, so the brass and the blue really complement each other.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35Then we've got some of that colouring coming into the print in the back as well.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Yeah, nice to see that with the lovely wallpaper.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Those were salvaged worktops.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44So we had some salvaged wood that we wanted to incorporate into it.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48- Um...- So it's got good provenance and a great look.- Yeah.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- You can't ask for more than that, can you?- Thank you.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53We did flip-flop a bit on colour.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57In the end, we wanted to have quite a hardy finish on it,
0:53:57 > 0:54:00so we used quite a strong metal paint, so, yeah,
0:54:00 > 0:54:02that's how we ended up with the blue.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Well, I'm loving the gloss and the detail.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08It's lovely seeing it floating up on those legs.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Did you have to make them or did you manage to buy them?
0:54:10 > 0:54:12I bought them in the end,
0:54:12 > 0:54:17because I found a guy that mainly makes hairpin legs and, er,
0:54:17 > 0:54:20thinking about bringing it in on budget,
0:54:20 > 0:54:22if I'd bought the materials and welded it here,
0:54:22 > 0:54:24it would have cost more, so...
0:54:24 > 0:54:26- Oh, that's new.- Yes, yeah.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Um, it had, like, an...
0:54:29 > 0:54:34- Yeah, that bent catch, I remember. - Yeah, which we managed to cut off.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37And we wanted some sort of handle that brought in the brass as well.
0:54:37 > 0:54:41It far exceeds my expectation of what should've been done with that old tin trunk.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44It was never going to end up like this, and the fact that you have
0:54:44 > 0:54:47seen the vision to do it, I think is brilliant work. Thank you so much.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Great. Thank you, Sarah. Cheers.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55Daniel's done an outstanding job, and bang on budget.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59That went well.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02You know, it's one of the more characterful pieces,
0:55:02 > 0:55:05so I'm glad that it was well received.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Sarah first came across the old tin trunk in Richard's van.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Now, I like the look of that. That's lovely.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20- I want it. Can I have it? - Yeah, perfect, not a problem.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23Brilliant. Let me take that away. I think I shall be able to carry that.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27And Sarah picked bright spark Daniel to give it a new lease of life.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38The cocktail cabinet also caught the attention of Nick,
0:55:38 > 0:55:41who sells to clients all over the world
0:55:41 > 0:55:44from his online vintage and retro shop.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Now she's visiting Richard
0:55:50 > 0:55:53to show him how she transformed that old tin trunk.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57- Hi, Richard.- Hi, Sarah.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59- How are you doing? - Very good, thank you.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03- I said when we met at the tip that I'd like to come and catch up with you about your old trunk.- Yep.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06So I'm here. Have you thought about what we might have done with it?
0:56:06 > 0:56:10Not a clue. I mean, there were some paint marks on it that probably needed cleaning off,
0:56:10 > 0:56:15but not a clue what they would have done with it, to be honest. We were just looking to get rid of it.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17It was an old trunk and no-one would want it.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21It turns out your trunk was a very lucky trunk, because I work with a designer called Daniel Heath,
0:56:21 > 0:56:25who is the most amazing surface-pattern designer.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27- Do you want to see what he did? - I'd love to, yes.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31OK, so, I think you probably remember it looking more like this.
0:56:31 > 0:56:32Yep.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35And this is Daniel with his finished piece.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37- What do you reckon?- Brilliant!
0:56:37 > 0:56:39- Wow!- Can you imagine that your trunk
0:56:39 > 0:56:41would ever have ended up looking like that?
0:56:41 > 0:56:43I would never have thought it would look like that.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45He's done a brilliant job on it.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48So I showed it to a dealer that I work with
0:56:48 > 0:56:51and he came along and snapped it up.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54It's a great thing, and actually managed to make some profit for you.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Oh, brilliant!
0:56:56 > 0:56:59So I have got £125 here for you...
0:56:59 > 0:57:01- Wow, that's great! - ..for your old trunk.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04- I never expected to get any money for it.- £125 profit.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06- What would you do with that? - Excellent. Um...
0:57:06 > 0:57:10Well, we're going away in the summer so we'll probably put it towards that,
0:57:10 > 0:57:12to have a nice time with the children.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15I think that's a great thing to do with it, and thank you so much
0:57:15 > 0:57:18for taking the time, at the tip and today, to let me catch up with you.
0:57:18 > 0:57:22- No problem at all.- Take care. - Brilliant.- Thank you ever so much. - Thank you.- OK. Bye-bye.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28I think both Richard and I were surprised with how much
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Daniel managed to achieve with that old trunk,
0:57:30 > 0:57:35and it sounds like the family are going to have a few special treats on holiday now.
0:57:35 > 0:57:41So, Daniel charged Sarah £275 for the makeover.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44Sarah sold it to Nick for 400
0:57:44 > 0:57:50and Richard gets to put £125 into the holiday kitty.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57Sarah saved four items from certain doom.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01Anthony gave the chairs some flair.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05The lime logs now hold up an amazing coffee table.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Sarah sifted out the silver in the frames.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13And Daniel worked wonders on the old trunk.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Who knew that a few bits of old rubbish
0:58:16 > 0:58:21could generate so much enthusiasm, creativity, and hard cash?
