Dom hopes to get a tune out of an Edwardian pianola at the world鈥檚 oldest surviving music hall, while Will and Kirsten team up to make a handmade chess set playable once again.

Dom steps inside Glasgow鈥檚 Britannia Panopticon, the world鈥檚 oldest surviving music hall, to help piano technician Jamie revive Henrietta, a 1904 Nilson pianola with roots in a New York speakeasy.

Will is in Inverness to collect Debbi鈥檚 handcrafted chess set, a family heirloom that requires Kirsten鈥檚 expert touch if it is to be played with again.

In Birnam, Dom is getting hands on with a craft that has remained unchanged for centuries as he masters steam-bending and pine-tar finishing with Scotland鈥檚 only wooden ski maker.
