family history

Episode five of The Repair Shop Favourite Fixes brings us another round of treasured stories, passionate memories, and heartwarming restorations. The first to step into the barn is Mike Stevens, proudly carrying a nostalgic memento from his youth—a battered wooden skateboard that has seen better days. Mike, one of Liverpool’s early skateboarding pioneers, picked up this board in 1967 for just four pounds and ten shillings. To him, it’s not merely an old skateboard but a cherished reminder of the boundless freedom and thrill of his teenage years. He eagerly enlists the help of metalwork maestro Dominic Chinea and woodwork expert Will Kirk to breathe new life into his prized possession.
