From the Ashes
Alfred's tinkering skills are put to the test when a performer brings in her manager's broken jukebox while "Hot Rod" PJ steps in to give it a rocking paint job.

Sew Gripping
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.
