The experts working at The Repair Shop never fail to impress viewers with their incredible restoration skills, and this week was no different.
Woodwork maestro Will Kirk welcomed Krishna from Hertfordshire to the barn, who brought a swinging bench for repair that has been in her family for over 120 years.
© BBCKrishna explained that the bench, which is originally from Gujarat in west India, holds special memories of her childhood and also served as a sanctuary where she could recover from her chemotherapy sessions when she had cancer.
"A couple of years ago when I had health problems, I used to come back after my chemo and just lie down on the bench and it would make me feel good," she said.
