0:00:03 > 0:00:05That's not going in there, is it?
0:00:07 > 0:00:10How do you make money for nothing?
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Oh, that's got lovely legs.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16The answer could be hiding in over 20 million tons of household waste
0:00:16 > 0:00:18thrown out by us every year.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19I'm now going to SWAN off.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26That's why entrepreneur Sarah Moore wants to get her hands on things
0:00:26 > 0:00:27before they hit the skip.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I'm a passionate maker, buyer and user of old stuff
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and I've turned that passion into a moneymaking business.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I make new stuff out of old stuff and I sell it for a profit.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45And with some of the country's elite designers and makers...
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Let's brainstorm and see what we can do with it.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50It is absolutely gorgeous.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53..she can transform her finds into desirable...
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Michael, I'm speechless.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57..valuable...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59That looks amazing!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and hopefully saleable items.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03SARAH LAUGHS
0:01:04 > 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 > 0:01:16That's lovely! A lovely ending.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36Woking in Surrey is where HG Wells wrote War Of The Worlds.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40But today at the recycling centre, it's war on waste.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Soldier of salvage Sarah is here to
0:01:45 > 0:01:48separate the dreamy from the dreadful,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50do it up and sell it on for cash.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52You never know what's going to come in here.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Follow me.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We're going to find something fabulous.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Sarah needs to rescue three beauties from these bins
0:02:01 > 0:02:04that she thinks have the potential for profit.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But don't you rush down to your local tip,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10as Sarah has special permission to be here.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It is like a scrum up here, but I'm game on.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I'm going to try and convert as many bits of rubbish as possible.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Keep your eye on the ball, Sarah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24There might be something of interest in Christine's boot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Hi there.- Hello.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I like the look of these. - Do you?- Ah, deckchairs.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Makes me all nostalgic for my childhood holidays in Torquay.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36They look really sweet. Have you had them a long time?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I have had them a long time, and I've painted them, as you can see,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41just to make them look a bit brighter.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44They look lovely. Where did they come from originally?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Gosh...- Were they new? - They weren't new, no.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48That's why they were painted.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51They're very old, actually, but they do still work.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57The design for a portable adjustable chair was patented in 1886
0:02:57 > 0:02:59by John Thomas Moore, who went on to
0:02:59 > 0:03:02manufacture the seaside seating in Macclesfield.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04If it would be OK to take them away,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06can I come and show you if I can do something with them?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Yes, absolutely.- That would be lovely. Happy clearing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Thank you so much for letting me have them.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- OK, you're welcome.- Bye-bye. - OK, thank you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18A fantastic first find for Sarah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Is Christine pleased to see her deckchairs avoid the skip?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Well, it's good to recycle things, isn't it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That's why we bring everything here.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, hopefully, she'll do something good with them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32The deckchairs will make for a quirky transformation,
0:03:32 > 0:03:33even by Sarah's standards.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Any idea how they'll end up?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think she might paint them and possibly make them into a table
0:03:39 > 0:03:41or something. I don't know.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I don't know. Wait and see.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48There are few things more nostalgic and joyful than a deckchair,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52but these ones have definitely seen better days.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Their relaxing beach days are over, and if there's any money to be made,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59they're going to need a total refurbishment.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04And Sarah has just the maker in mind for this seaside salvage.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Rupert Blanchard is a furniture designer
0:04:11 > 0:04:13and self-confessed hoarder of anything old
0:04:13 > 0:04:15he can turn into gold.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I work mostly with reclaimed materials.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22These are found materials that other people have given up on.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28I benefit from what other people throw away, but it's more than that.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I spend a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of love
0:04:33 > 0:04:37in restoring things and somehow working
0:04:37 > 0:04:42people's rubbish back into their home as something brand-new.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well, you might have your work cut out making something for the home,
0:04:46 > 0:04:47because these things...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I wouldn't even put them in the garden, frankly.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Sarah's bagged one item. Two more still to find.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02It's bonkers up here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06What was that? Was that your shoe rack?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Wine rack.- Wine rack?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11That's the right kind of size wine rack.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13There will be no cabernet for you, Sarah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You're supposed to be working, remember.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Luckily, you've spotted Delia, who is having a clear-out.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Might she have something transformation-worthy?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Hello there.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, hello. What are you dropping off?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30All the stuff out the shed and the garage.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Just getting rid of it all. - Oh, don't get rid of it too quickly.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36This stuff looks amazing. How long have you had it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Oh, it was my father's and he used to keep all his tools
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and things in there.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I think that looks beautiful. Now, that is amazing.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Can I have a look at that? Let me just pop that down here.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That was his from a bench.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Oh, I know, it's the vice, isn't it?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Delia's father was a carpenter.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59He used this wooden vice from the 1930s in his workshop.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02That's a beautiful piece of wood.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You can have it, if you want it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06If it would be possible maybe to make a little group
0:06:06 > 0:06:08of the things you're throwing away, if that's OK?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Yes, delighted.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And take them to some of my talented friends and see if there's something
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- to be made out of them.- Well, I like to find a good home for things.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm sure something can be done with it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Please may I come and find you and show you what happens to it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Yes.- Would that be all right? Beautiful, thank you.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- LAUGHING:- Yes, that would be interesting.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Sarah's got herself the contents of Delia's shed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's hard to imagine what will come of this lot.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Any ideas, Delia?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Well, I can't think what she's going to do with the screw exactly.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42There's several things.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45The boxes... Boxes are always useful.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You can always do something with boxes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52What a great collection of really old stuff.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Not particularly useful as it is,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56but the marks and the age and the wear
0:06:56 > 0:06:59on this part of the vice are just so beautiful that it's going to be
0:06:59 > 0:07:01made into something that's decorative
0:07:01 > 0:07:02and I'm sure will make a profit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05And I know exactly who to take it to.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Meet Josh and Oli - designers, wood experts and best buds.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14These boys really think outside the box and the results
0:07:14 > 0:07:15are always interesting.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So I'm Josh and this is Oli.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21We work well together because we've both got interesting ideas.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26When Sarah turns up with whatever she's managed to find at the tip,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28it's like problem-solving.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31You're faced with the problem and you've then got to turn that
0:07:31 > 0:07:34into a product. It's really good.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's difficult and challenging, but it's a good process, isn't it?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Yeah. It makes us think of new ideas that we wouldn't
0:07:39 > 0:07:41otherwise have thought of.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Well, these boys will certainly need to rely on their imagination
0:07:45 > 0:07:47for this project.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54That's two items tucked away,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58but Sarah can't put her feet up just yet.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01She's on the prowl for one more piece of tip treasure.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06And this time, she's looking for something she can revamp herself.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07That is the stuff of nightmares.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Look at it crushing beautiful pieces of furniture
0:08:10 > 0:08:12that I haven't managed to save.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Let's get to work.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Perhaps the contents of Martin and Yvonne's boot will be to her liking.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- Hi.- Hi there.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- What is that?- It's an old sideboard of my dad's.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29No charity wants it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32There is a fine line between
0:08:32 > 0:08:35the haters and the lovers of the sideboard.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Would it be possible to bring it out and have a closer look?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43I love the shape on the front. Oh, thank you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It just screws onto the legs.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50They are concertinaed.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51That's the unique feature.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I think my mum bought it in the '60s because of that.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Drinks cabinet...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58and the drawers go in there.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59I love the styling of it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I've never seen anything with those lovely curved fronts
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- on it like this.- No. - And I'm charmed.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's for cutting the lemon, isn't it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08It's the Martini moment.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11It's the definite 1960s gin and tonic, yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Yep. I think it's one of the most exciting things I've seen at
0:09:15 > 0:09:17the recycling centre. I love its styling.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Please, may I have it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22All yours. It saves me throwing it over into the skip.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If I can restore it or do something with it,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- can I come back and show you what I've done?- Yes, please.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Fantastic. I think this is lovely.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I might have to ask you just one last thing.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Any chance you could give me a hand with moving it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- No problem at all.- Thank you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Sarah is one happy customer, but does Martin think she'll
0:09:39 > 0:09:42make this '60s sideboard desirable again?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It just needs a bit of subtle renovation.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47A bit of clearing up on the top, a bit of polish...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50new front on one of the knobs, and then you wouldn't know it's old.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57What an absolutely fantastic find for a recycling centre.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I think this sideboard has got bags of style as it is,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and after we've finished with it, who knows where this will go?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09And with that, Sarah has her trio of items.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Rupert will take on the pair of deckchair frames,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Josh and Oli will be tasked with the wooden vice and boxes,
0:10:17 > 0:10:22and Sarah will give the sideboard a much-needed style update.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Woking has been really good to me.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We have some fantastic things from this recycling centre,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30but now, the hard work begins.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Sarah's first stop is Margate on the south-east coast.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44A much-loved holiday destination,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Margate was the first place to offer donkey rides on the beach.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52It even holds the prestigious title of Britain's best seaside town.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Sarah's dropping off her dilapidated deckchairs to Rupert.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Don't worry, Sarah, you can hire some new ones on the promenade
0:11:00 > 0:11:03for about two quid each, I think.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Sarah's on her way.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I don't know what she's going to bring but I'm hoping
0:11:06 > 0:11:09it will be a bit of a challenge. Something new to me,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11something I've never seen before,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12never worked on before.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16They're the best ones, because you learn something new.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Where else do you bring a pair of bright yellow deckchairs
0:11:19 > 0:11:21but to beside the seaside and Rupert?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Rupert.- Hey, Sarah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- How are you?- What have you done?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You've brought deckchairs to the seaside!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Where else?- We've got loads of these here!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I bet they're in better nick than these.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37These are great, though, these are yellow.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39But how are you going to sit on them?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Over to you, I thought, on that one. - Right, OK.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45They're quite good. They're luxury versions, because they have arms.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Do you want to put one up?- OK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'll leave that to you because I don't know
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- how to put a deckchair up.- It's really easy. Erm...
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Hold on. Arms first.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58And that goes down there, and then that goes in there.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59- Hold on.- OK.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Mm, you certainly don't make it look very easy, Sarah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- There we are. - There you go. Weeee!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- They're easier when they've got the seat cover on.- Wow.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17That's kind of great, but it's... It's so twisted.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18It's not great, is it?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I did think maybe you could stretch them out
0:12:21 > 0:12:23to make a pair of benches out of them.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27As deckchairs, they're pretty much obsolete, past their best.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So anything you can do with them is better than where they're going.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I'm kind of thinking it makes some other framework,
0:12:33 > 0:12:37maybe for a pair of bedside tables.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Just using the framework, not as seating any more.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It sounds fantastic.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44A pair of Rupert bedside cabinets.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think you've brought them back to the right place.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Back to the seaside, and let's see if we can get them
0:12:49 > 0:12:51back in someone's home.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Now you're talking, Rupert.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56We want those deckchairs to go from beach-side to bedside.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58How much is it going to cost?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I don't know. This is quite a lot of work.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm thinking about £200.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'm really happy with that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07200 quid, two cabinets, they must be able to make a profit on that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Fantastic.- Thank you. - Can't wait.- Great.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Well, it's not really an obvious transition, is it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16They've come to Margate as deckchairs,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18they're certainly not going to leave that way.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm looking forward to this one
0:13:20 > 0:13:23but they are really rickety and really warped
0:13:23 > 0:13:27and bent timber, so what I've got to play with I've yet to find out.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35It's going to cost £200 for Rupert to turn those old yellow frames
0:13:35 > 0:13:36into bedroom furniture.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Sarah could be onto a winner here.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That is if Rupert has enough wood to work with.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Over to Sussex now, and just outside Chichester,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Sarah's on her way to see Josh and Oli
0:13:57 > 0:13:59with her collection of bits from the tip.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And the boys are feeling positive.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05You'd think they'd have learned by now.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Sarah's on her way.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yeah, looking forward to whatever wonderful thing she's got for us.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Wonderful?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Hopefully we can turn it into something even more wonderful.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22This is such a lovely little timeworn collection of stuff.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25No idea what to do with it though.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Hi, guys.- Hiya.- Hello.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- How are you doing?- Good. - Nice to see you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- This looks cool.- This looks amazing.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Yeah, I like the vice. - It is such a random mixture.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I don't know where to start with how to use it all.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Do you like it?- Yeah, it's amazing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44In my experience, it's got to be beautiful,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47it's got to be useful and it's got to have a mass appeal.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Maybe it could be like some sort of writing desk
0:14:50 > 0:14:52or console table kind of thing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yeah, I like that idea.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Maybe use this.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00We could make a little stool leg to go with the desk.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Why don't we go for desk... - Yup.- ..stool...- Yup.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08..and hopefully some kind of little desk lamp as well?
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Beautiful. Sounds great.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The boys have a sweet plan to utilise as much of the collection
0:15:14 > 0:15:17as possible. What's the budget?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm thinking 650.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Any chance you could screw it down to the 600 mark?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- OK.- Very well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Yeah, for that pun we can come down to 625 maybe.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- OK, I'm out of here. Good luck.- Thank you very much.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Give us a call when my exciting collection is ready.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38That was a lot of stuff to drop off.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Lots of great ideas and heaps of potential to turn a profit.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46This is really cool. There's a lot of just good bits.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I hope we don't SCREW it up.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I hope you don't either.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Sarah has given Josh and Oli
0:15:53 > 0:15:57a budget of £625 to turn that assortment
0:15:57 > 0:16:00of old bits and bobs into something saleable.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It'll be a big job, but if they can pull it off,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05there could be some serious profit to be made.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Good luck, lads.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19With two items successfully dropped off to our trusty artisans,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Sarah is back home in West Sussex.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26She's ready to renovate her '60s sideboard.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, love it or hate it, to find a piece of furniture like this,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32that's amazing. Personally, I'm a lover.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Teak sideboards like this were all the rage in the '60s,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40often taking pride of place in a dining room.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I think it's got bags of style and I'm hoping that with just
0:16:43 > 0:16:46a little subtle update it will become really desirable
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and the kind of thing that people want to have back in their house.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55This sideboard is structurally sound and in great condition.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58All Sarah has to do is beautify it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Her first job is to remove the dated fixings.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Remember, Sarah - righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I think I might have been going the wrong way.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Dearie me.- It would be so nice if they just came off, wouldn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Ooh!
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Sarah wants to get rid of the orange-tinged veneer finish.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's out with the sandpaper and the elbow grease.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's definitely looking a bit paler,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29but it's still got that unattractive orange look.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Maybe it's time to upgrade your sander.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Oh, yeah. That'll do the trick.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Still orange. - Oh, maybe not then.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Nothing is working as well as this and a bit of elbow grease.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Bye-bye, bingo wings.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00That's it, Sarah. Who needs the gym?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Upcycling is a work-out in itself.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04SHE EXHALES
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Next Sarah starts to add some detail.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14She's using masking tape to mark out a chevron pattern on the doors.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16This is tricky.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20She'll spray paint over the tape and then peel it off
0:18:20 > 0:18:22to reveal thin, sleek lines.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Well, that's the plan anyway.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Accuracy, precision and a steady hand
0:18:31 > 0:18:36are definitely required to get this right.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41The problem with choosing a really crisp-edge smart pattern
0:18:41 > 0:18:44is if you get it wrong, everyone will be able to tell.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47You're not filling me with confidence.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, I hope that's the hard work done.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Now comes the fun. I'm going for gold.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Ooh, I'm looking forward to this bit.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Facemask on and... ready, steady, spray.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That's not good. It splodged everywhere.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Look at it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It's not supposed to do that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Well, it looks like the hard work isn't over yet, Sarah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Don't worry, you'll get there. Let's hope.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Sarah has spent £20 on masking tape and spray paint,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33but she's still got a long way to go
0:19:33 > 0:19:36to make this sideboard saleable.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Back to the seaside, Margate in Kent.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's all hands on deck for Rupert.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52He's getting to work on the yellow deckchair frames
0:19:52 > 0:19:53dropped off by Sarah.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57What a beautiful pair of deckchairs...they are not.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Rupert's promised Sarah a pair of bedside cabinets.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04How is he planning to do that?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Now that I look at them, I have no idea how I'm going to do that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Off to a great start then(!)
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I'm going to start cutting these out.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Goggles on.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Rupert gets cracking by dismantling the deckchairs.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22The frames are held together with metal rivets.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28These are horrible things to remove because the bolt heads in the backs
0:20:28 > 0:20:31have been riveted together inside the wood,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33so I can't sort of dig it out.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I can't gouge it out without damaging the wood.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40The frames are over 35 years old,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43so Rupert will need to be careful to make sure
0:20:43 > 0:20:46they come apart in one piece.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49He'll need to save as much as the timber from the frames
0:20:49 > 0:20:53as he can if he's got any chance of making two cabinets.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Ah. I don't like the look of that.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I heard some cracking and it's just split a little bit on the end.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Those flimsy frames,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06they don't seem to be coming apart as easily as he'd hoped.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I'm sure deckchairs used to break as soon as you sat on them.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Now this one doesn't want to come apart at all!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well...surprisingly tough.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Oh, it looks like he's finally getting somewhere.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30There you go, Rupert. You're cooking with gas.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36This is a pretty scary part of the project,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38because all I've got left now
0:21:38 > 0:21:44is a big pile of sticks and I did promise Sarah furniture.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49So, somehow, now I've got to turn this pile of firewood
0:21:49 > 0:21:51into something great.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54No pressure then.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I've cut enough pieces to make one of the tables now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Hopefully this will make the skeleton framework for one piece.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07This is one big jigsaw puzzle...
0:22:07 > 0:22:11but I haven't got a picture, so not as easy.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Well, no-one said it was going to be easy, though that does look like
0:22:16 > 0:22:19it's starting to take shape.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24With a handful of screws, a bit of glue and a little bit of labour,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27this will be something great for Sarah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28I promise.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I certainly hope so.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34After some fixing, measuring and a lot of assembling,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36it's coming together nicely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That's the rough idea, the framework.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45And it's... It's not terrible.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47It's along the lines, definitely, of what I imagined.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I've still got a long way to go.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I've got to glaze the sides, put a base in,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54somehow make a top, and then I've got to
0:22:54 > 0:22:57do it all again for the second one.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59No time to waste, Rupert.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Back to West Sussex.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Josh and Oli are getting to grips with the wooden vice and boxes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Sarah's asked for a desk to encase the old oak drawer,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23a stool to be made from the wooden vice
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and a lamp from any bits left over.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Despite the hefty budget, it's still a tall order.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32What's the plan, boys?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34The plan is still making the desk
0:23:34 > 0:23:36and a little stool to go with it, yeah?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Yeah.- I guess the first job then is making the frame legs that we were
0:23:39 > 0:23:43going to do and, like, a carcass for the top as well.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Yeah, then after that we can have a little think about the stool
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- that we want to make.- Right, let's grab some boards and get cracking.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57The boys are using planks of locally sourced English oak
0:23:57 > 0:24:01to be cut to size to make the frame and the legs of the desk.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I reckon we'd get most of what we need out of these two bits.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Oli is using a table saw.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11That will give him precise cuts and minimise wastage.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Once the wood is cut,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17it's put through the planer to smooth both sides of the oak.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20This creates a nice flat surface.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26With the desk frame under way, Josh moves on to the stool.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31We're going to use this as the top of the stool and try and use
0:24:31 > 0:24:34this little guy as one of the legs.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36And it's going to be a four-legged stool,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39so I'll get the other three legs out of this oak dowel.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Josh begins by preparing the seat of the stool.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49He is using a Japanese handsaw to remove excess wood
0:24:49 > 0:24:51from the old vice.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Unlike typical saws,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56it works by cutting on the pull rather than on the push.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Very energy-efficient, I should think.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It's got a lovely character and loads of saw cuts,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and you can see the history in there. So it's nice.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09But I just think we just need a little bit of sanding down
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and smoothing off before you'd really want to sit on this.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Yeah, Josh, I don't think Sarah will be happy
0:25:14 > 0:25:16with a seat that gives splinters.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Oli's making good progress on the desktop.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25This will hold the old oak drawer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36With the wooden frame clamped to allow the glue to set,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Josh now takes on the legs of the stool.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43The boys need these to splay out at a 30-degree angle,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and it's all sounding rather complicated.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Just making...
0:25:48 > 0:25:52extra, doubly sure that this is all working out all right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56You've got, like, two angles coming in here
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and then also you've got the swivel of the bed
0:25:58 > 0:26:02of the pillar drill as well, so there's three factors
0:26:02 > 0:26:05that change everything. So if you don't get it right,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08all of these legs are just going to be all over the place.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15The pillar drill cuts holes using a revolving, circular press.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18With any luck, it'll be perfect.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Right, that's that one done.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That's good. Hopefully the next three holes
0:26:21 > 0:26:23will just work exactly the same
0:26:23 > 0:26:25and that's all the complicated bits over.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27So, yeah, chuffed that that's worked.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30You're not out of the woods yet.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32There's still the desk to go.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And didn't you promise Sarah some kind of lighting, too?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38One thing in the back of my mind
0:26:38 > 0:26:41is I know Sarah wanted us to make a lamp out of this.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45But, eh, at the moment, we've put so much time into the other bits,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'm not sure it's going to happen.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Why don't we keep that between us for the moment, lads?
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Best of luck.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Back we go to Sarah's.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03She's about to find out if spray-painting
0:27:03 > 0:27:04the sideboard has worked out.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's very satisfying.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I think the chevrons might be working.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I always had faith in you, Sarah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19When Sarah found the old sideboard,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23it was stylish but needed a serious update.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24But now...
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Boy, oh, boy has Sarah delivered.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33This classic mid-century piece has
0:27:33 > 0:27:37undergone a very trendy transformation indeed.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Sarah's stripped the orange finish to reveal smart teak underneath.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49The addition of black and gold chevrons adds a contemporary twist,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52making this '60s piece swing.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59The painted black base contrasts with the body of the unit,
0:27:59 > 0:28:03while simple handles along with the gold feet bring it all together.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Beautiful and functional. Good job, Sarah.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11So what do you think? Personally, it's a lot better
0:28:11 > 0:28:14than I thought it was going to be. It did have a lovely,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16strong shape to begin with but I'm hoping all that I've done
0:28:16 > 0:28:18to it has just enhanced that.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26At the tip, Sarah was lovestruck when she saw the sideboard.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I think it's one of the most exciting things
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I've seen at the recycling centre.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Martin hoped she could give it a face-lift.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36It just needs a bit of subtle renovation,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39bit of clearing up on the top, bit of polish,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42new front on one of the knobs and then you wouldn't know it's old.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Sarah took to social media to post pictures of the sideboard
0:28:47 > 0:28:50in the hope of finding a buyer.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52But did she secure a sale?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Now she's back in Woking to show Martin and Yvonne
0:28:57 > 0:29:00the transformation of their '60s sideboard.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Hiya.- Hello, Sarah. Nice to meet you again.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Do you remember Yvonne?- Yes, I do.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Hello, Yvonne. Come on out. - Hello, Sarah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15How are you doing? I was so excited when I saw you turning up at the tip
0:29:15 > 0:29:18with your sideboard. Did you wonder what I might do with it or anything
0:29:18 > 0:29:19you didn't want me to do with it?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Erm, ideally, I wouldn't want it sprayed gold or silver,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24but on the other hand if somebody's done something to it
0:29:24 > 0:29:26and it's improved it, then what can I say?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28OK, well, it was actually something I worked on
0:29:28 > 0:29:30and there's bad news, because...
0:29:30 > 0:29:32There is a bit of metallic, is there?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- A tiny bit of gold.- OK.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35I've got some pictures to show you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40I hope you're not offended. Your sideboard now looks like that.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- I like that.- So it has just a few tiny gold lines.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- That's all right. - I like that, actually.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Thank goodness for that.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Well, I've managed to sell it and I've got the money here for you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Oh.- I've got you 355 quid.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57£355!
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I tell you what I'm going to do with this.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01This is actually going to charity.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03All of that? You're amazing.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06All of that. Because it was my mum's and therefore I think
0:30:06 > 0:30:08somebody else should now benefit from it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I'm so pleased I made that money for you
0:30:10 > 0:30:12and to give that money to charity is a wonderful thing.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Thank you so much. Really good to catch up.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Thanks very much for doing it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17My pleasure. Any more sideboards you've got,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I'll be at the recycling centre soon.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- And don't spray them silver or gold. - I won't. Thanks, bye.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- Thank you. Bye.- Bye.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Sarah spent just £20 revamping the retro sideboard.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34She sold it to a private buyer for an impressive £375,
0:30:34 > 0:30:39giving Martin and Yvonne a cracking profit of £355,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42which they'll donate to Macmillan Cancer Support.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Back in Margate, Sarah's on her way to Rupert.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52She left him with two warped deckchair frames,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54but did he have enough timber
0:30:54 > 0:30:58to make the pair of bedside cabinets he promised her?
0:30:58 > 0:30:59This one was pretty fun.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04I had a few things go wrong during the making, but resolved them.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I'm happy with what I've made,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and I made her a little something extra as well.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Ooh, I do like a surprise.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's a bit breezy for deckchairs today,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16so I hope that Rupert has come up with another use for them
0:31:16 > 0:31:19and transformed them into something I can sell.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25When Sarah spotted these retro rickety frames,
0:31:25 > 0:31:27their deckchair days were over.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30But now...
0:31:33 > 0:31:36..Rupert has repurposed the warped wood
0:31:36 > 0:31:40into a stunning pair of bedside cabinets.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46He's used every inch of timber from the yellow frames
0:31:46 > 0:31:49and he's added extra wood salvaged
0:31:49 > 0:31:51from the beach right here in Margate.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54How's that for staying true to the seaside theme?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Rupert even chose sky blue paint to complement
0:31:58 > 0:32:01the sunny yellow of the deckchairs.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I love them, but what will Sarah think?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Hello.- Ah, glad you're here. Come in.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Oh, don't they look like fun?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- How are you doing?- I am good.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15These were a little bit of a trial to start with.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I'm glad of your initial reaction, you seem to like them.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23Fab, fun, exciting, really cool little things.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28If they were inspired by those ropey old deckchairs, then...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- I think you've done really well. - Excellent.- Aren't they sweet?
0:32:30 > 0:32:34The thing is, I had a little bit of material left over,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36surprisingly, because it didn't look like much was left.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39But I've made you something a little bit extra.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- A Rupert bonus?- Yeah. - Go on, then. Where is it?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I'll show you this. OK, so I have also made for you...
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Wow.- ..a lamp.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55OK? So this...are all the bits I had left from the deckchair.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I've bolted them together, I've used a lampshade that I found in a skip,
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I've had a professional do the wiring for it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I don't normally make lamps.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07I really like this, and if you don't, I will happily keep it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12I hate to tell you this, but there's no way you're having that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15That is the icing on the cake for this lot.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17What a joyful thing.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23The lamp complies with all UK safety standards.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27You've smashed it out the park again, Rupert.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31But how has the bonus lamp affected the £200 budget?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33It was actually quite a bit extra.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Brace yourself, Sarah.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38I'm going to have to charge you 260 for all of this.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I'm walking away with a profit all day long on that.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Congratulations. You've stormed it.- Thank you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46See that?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51That's somebody who's just picked up the first-ever Rupert table lamp.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Oh, and two fantastic cabinets as well.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58At Woking tip,
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Sarah was chuffed to bits to get her hands on the deckchairs.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Happy clearing. Thank you so much for letting me have them.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06OK. You're welcome.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Christine was happy for them to have a chance at a second life.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Hopefully she'll do something good with them.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Sarah advertised her cabinets and light for sale
0:34:17 > 0:34:21and they didn't stick around for long.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23The bedside tables were snaffled
0:34:23 > 0:34:25at one of Sarah's barn sales.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29And the desk lamp sold to a lighting store in Cornwall.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Now, Sarah is in Addlestone near Woking
0:34:35 > 0:34:39to show Christine what became of her deckchairs.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41And to hand over some cash.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44- Hi, Christine.- Hello.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Nice to see you again. - Nice to see you.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49So, I found you chucking out your old deckchairs and clearing out
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- the shed, is that right?- Yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52And talk me through those deckchairs,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- you'd had them for ages, hadn't you? - I've had them for a very long time.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59They're very old and I decided to paint them yellow
0:34:59 > 0:35:00to brighten them up.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02What do you think might have happened to them?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Well, because the wood wasn't very thick,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I thought perhaps you'd make a small coffee table or side table
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- or something like that. - Clever minds think alike.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11They went to Margate and to a guy called Rupert.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I've got some pictures here to show you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Oh, you kept them yellow.- We made them into a pair of side tables.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- What do you think?- Brilliant!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Wow! Well, it's good that they've something out of nothing, isn't it?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Yeah. Actually, there's a bonus as well,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28because he made the tables but he had a little bit
0:35:28 > 0:35:31of wood left over, so he thought he'd make a light as well.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Oh, wow!- What do you think of that lot?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- That's brilliant. - I managed to sell them at a profit.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- Did you?- Yep, so for your deckchair...
0:35:38 > 0:35:40CHRISTINE GASPS
0:35:40 > 0:35:41..I've got £190.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Oh, wow! That's amazing.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Well, thank you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- What might you do with that? - Well...
0:35:48 > 0:35:50maybe a new deckchair!
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Oh, fantastic.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Lovely to see you. Thank you so much.- Thanks very much.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Bye-bye.- Thank you, bye-bye.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58CHRISTINE LAUGHS
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Rupert charged £260 to transform the deckchair frames
0:36:04 > 0:36:08into a pair of cabinets and a lamp.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14Sarah sold the lot for an amazing £450,
0:36:14 > 0:36:18leaving Christine with a profit of £190.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Result!
0:36:25 > 0:36:29With the revamped sideboard and the repurposed deckchairs
0:36:29 > 0:36:33off to new homes, Sarah is in West Sussex.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Can Josh and Oli make it a clean sweep with their transformation?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39The boys are confident they can.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I think we're happy with the result, aren't we?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43It's turned out really nicely, yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Well, I left Josh and Oli with a real mixed bag
0:36:45 > 0:36:47of stuff to make things out of.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'm hoping they managed to make a desk and a chair,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51maybe even a light.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56When Sarah spotted this collection of wooden bits at the tip,
0:36:56 > 0:37:00she was stumped as to how Josh and Oli could make them useful again.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11But would you believe it? They've hit the nail on the head.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Using the old vice and drawer,
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Josh and Oli have produced
0:37:18 > 0:37:21a beautiful bespoke writing desk and stool set.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27For the desk, they've highlighted the age
0:37:27 > 0:37:30of the reused parts by combining them with
0:37:30 > 0:37:33fresh, locally sourced English oak.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38This contrast of light and dark wood creates a contemporary style.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Better still, the old workbench drawer and boxes
0:37:41 > 0:37:45are now incorporated as practical storage compartments.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Then there's the stool, made from the 70-year-old vice.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53It tested the boys' mathematical skills
0:37:53 > 0:37:56to the limit to get the angles of the legs just right.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02This writing desk and stool make me want to put pen to paper.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05But wait, where's the lamp for Sarah?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Hello? Hi.- Hey.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Oh, it worked!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12JOSH AND OLI LAUGH
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Oh, fantastic. Look at that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Wow, what's it made out of? - Well, it's all oak.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22What happens over there?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- That's the other little... - Oh, how sweet.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29..compartment thing that you gave us.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Look at that, boys, well done, it came together.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Yeah, we're really pleased with it, actually.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I bet you are. I didn't expect it to look like that.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38That's a much more generous desk, isn't it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Very clever, sharp piece of design, isn't it?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- We aim to please.- Yeah. No lamp?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Unfortunately not.- Sorry about that.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49What did you do with it?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Oh, my goodness, is that it? - JOSH AND OLI LAUGH
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I can't believe it.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57You naughty boys!
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Cheeky! They've turned it into a mallet for their workshop.
0:39:01 > 0:39:07- Let's talk money.- 625 quid was the ballpark budget we left for it.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10It was a lot of work but we always want to try and keep to the budgets.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13I think you've done that for 625, thank you so much.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Thank you. - And I'll tell you where it goes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Thank you. Bye. - See you.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21They're naughty boys, aren't they?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Look what they did with my light.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But I forgive them because the desk and the little stool, well,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29that's a lovely, sharp, crisp piece of design,
0:39:29 > 0:39:30just what I've come to expect from these lads.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33It's nice to hear her say...
0:39:33 > 0:39:36in her mind she thought she was going to see a tiny little desk.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37It obviously wasn't...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- BUMP - Oh, that mallet!
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Did you hear the power of it? Unstoppable!
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Well, that would have made a pretty powerful lamp.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Back at the dump, Sarah was onto a winner with Delia's collection,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59all cleared out from her dad's old workshop.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I really like this, I think it's beautiful.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Delia was delighted she didn't have to throw it all in the wood skip.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08I like to find a good home for things.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Sarah wasted no time in sharing pictures
0:40:13 > 0:40:15of the desk and stool online.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19And it was bought by a boutique hotel, Monachyle Mhor,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21in Perthshire in Scotland.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Owner Tom absolutely loves his purchase.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I absolutely love it, it's great.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29It's just a really pretty thing.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Sarah has travelled to Addlestone
0:40:33 > 0:40:39to hand the profit to Delia and show her what became of her items.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42- Hello, Delia. - Hello, Sarah.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you again.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I'm here because I said I'd come and find you if there was
0:40:48 > 0:40:50something to be done with your eclectic collection of stuff.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Did you wonder what might have happened to all those lovely bits?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56I could only think, really, of two things.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Perhaps a lamp stand, you know, the base for a lamp,
0:41:00 > 0:41:05or perhaps the base of a table or something like that.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Those ideas are both things we discussed
0:41:07 > 0:41:10because they really did lend themselves to the lighting,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12so I went to two guys I work with down near Goodwood
0:41:12 > 0:41:15called Josh and Oli, and after a bit of discussion
0:41:15 > 0:41:16they came up with an idea,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19and I've got a picture here to show you how it ended up.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Are you ready?- I'd love to see it.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Oh! Now, I didn't think of anything like that.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Isn't that lovely?
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- Do you like it?- I love it. Absolutely love it.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Do you think your father, obviously, a fantastic makeover,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36would that be OK with him?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Oh, yes. To think that after all these years,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42that, you know, something could be done with it,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45and I'm so glad I rescued it.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Well, so am I and actually, it's been bought,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- and some profit for you as well. - Ooh!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55I've got £74 here for you.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Gosh!- After we pay Josh and Oli
0:41:57 > 0:41:59for all their hard work, but that's for you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Isn't that marvellous?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Oh, I think that's absolutely lovely.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06I'm always curious to know,
0:42:06 > 0:42:09is there anything that comes to mind that you might spend that money on?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Well, I know there is a refuge for women around here somewhere.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16I have the means to get money to them.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- I think I'll do that. - Well, that is lovely.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Such a generous thing. Great that I happened to be
0:42:21 > 0:42:22at the tip the day you were there.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- They were lovely old things.- Yes, absolutely amazing.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Well, thank you so much. Thank you for all your time today
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- and lovely to catch up.- Yes, and thank you very, very much.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34I shall be hanging around in Woking Recycling Centre,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- hoping to see you again soon. - Well, you never know.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Thank you so much.- Thank you. Goodbye, Sarah.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49Josh and Oli charged £625 to turn the old vice and drawers into
0:42:49 > 0:42:55a desk and stool set. Sarah sold the pair for £699,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58leaving Delia with a profit of £74.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10Sarah salvaged three items that were destined for the dump.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Rupert made the sun shine again for the deckchairs.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18Josh and Oli worked wonders for Delia's vice and bits,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21and Sarah's transformation of the '60s sideboard
0:43:21 > 0:43:24brought it into the 21st century.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Wow, three amazing items to find at the recycling centre
0:43:27 > 0:43:29and three fantastic transformations.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Finding new homes? Well, that's just the icing on the cake.
