Do you have an object you love but never use? Want to keep it…and have expert crafters transform it into something new?
We’re talking about those items that have stayed with you for years - but are now gathering dust.
It could be your first car, family photos of generations past, a piano, the skateboards you used to ride as kid or something else entirely.
Our exciting TV series could turn it into something that you’ll actually use! No matter how big or small, we could transform into something completely different.

Poet JB Barrington to perform at Huddersfield's Small Seeds
Fresh from his Channel 4 Dispatches commission about the controversial HS2 high-speed rail link project, cult performance poet JB Barrington is bringing his hard-hitting show to Huddersfield.
Barrington, who names Jonny Vegas, Suggs from Madness and Sleaford Mods amongst his fans, has agreed to bring his hit show to the intimate venue Small Seeds in Huddersfield on Saturday, May 11.
His funny, endearing and nostalgic poetry has made him one of the most powerful performers on the UK scene.
The Salford-born award-winning performance poet is renowned for his searing and satirical poetry, snarling delivery of strong sentiments and sharp rhymes.
His sell-out one-man shows deliver a rollercoaster of emotions with a brilliant and imaginative display of poetic writing covering social issues, economics, class and loss.
He has been on tour with Sleaford Mods performing in front of huge crowds across in England and Scotland and supported The Charlatans on the main stage at Kendal Calling. His show was part of Tim Burgess's Tim Peaks Diner at Festival No.6 and he has performed with Johnny Vegas and Ricky Tomlinson.
Barrington has been commissioned by BBC Radio Manchester, City of York Council (York Fairness Commission), Kendal Calling and Salford Arts Theatre.
Suggs from Madness was so impressed by Barrington's book 'Woodchip Anaglypta And Nicotined Artex Ceilings' he took a copy on stage with him at Kendal Calling 2016 during the sell-out Madness Saturday night headline show and read out one of the poems.
Barrington has performed on tour as support to Reverend And The Makers as well as his own one-man shows in Plymouth, London, Hull and Glasgow.
Support for this show comes from writer, poet and performer Jim Higo.
Higo's poetry has been published in several anthologies in Britain and America. He is a poetry slam winner, a regular performer on the poetry circuit and has been commissioned by the BBC.
He has written and performed several one man shows including the critically acclaimed “That’s Not How You Spell Pedantic” which received 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival.
