Episode 12

An amateur surfboard maker hopes to learn pyrography at the Toolshed, and Jay has a mechanical surprise in store for David.

Sir David Jason and Jay Blades are in the stunning north east coast of Scotland to meet with talented tinkerers.

Their first guest is Caorann, an engineer who loves surfing so much that he makes his own surfboards. David and Jay introduce Caorann to Eben Rautenbach, a professional pyrographer who is thrilled to be able to help Caorann learn the art.

Next, David and Jay head to the Portsoy fishing village to meet with Ali Beedie, an expert boat builder who wants to show them around his restored boat, the Reaper. They learn about its history and what is involved with restoring a boat of its kind.

Afterwards, back at the toolshed, David and Jay meet with Michael and Maria, who present an impressive collection of automata that they have lovingly collected and restored. David is delighted, as he is passionate about automata and excited to learn about this rare collection.
