From the Ashes

The restorers are stitchin' and grippin' as they refurbish a vintage Singer sewing machine that is a cherished heirloom and bring a carnival grip tester back to its original glory. A caned rocking chair gets completely restored while Leah helps a dad surprise his son by turning an antique phone booth into a recording studio.
