Julian Baumgartner
Start with his treatment of The Assassination of Archimedes. Watch for the difference between clearing dark varnish and removing the wooden panel the painting was mounted on. The sequence shows why bringing an image back into view can be only the first part of a conservation job.

Marshall Sutcliffe
Start with his Omega Seamaster 120 restoration. Follow the sequence from opening the case to seeing the movement come apart. The format is especially helpful if you want to learn what lives under the dial of a mechanical watch and how the parts fit together.

Sophia Bogle
Look for her Nutshell Library restoration or the before-and-after photos of a vintage paperback she gave a new spine while preserving the original. Bogle makes it easy to see how the choices differ when the aim is keeping a book usable and retaining as much of its old binding as possible.

Adrian Black
Try his Commodore 1702 monitor repair or his video on a viewer’s childhood Amiga 500. The contrast is useful if you’re curious about the diagnosis. One project centers on a display, and the other starts with an entire computer that has a history with its owner.

Dominic Chinea
Start with his Series I Land Rover project if you like seeing work spread across a series of workshop visits. For a smaller example of his repair work, look up the rusted coconut scraper he gets working again on The Repair Shop. Both give you a reason to watch what he does with the metal before it looks finished.

Thomas Johnson
Start with his video on repairing the veneer of a midcentury table. It’s a good way to see why a small damaged area can take careful work of its own. His Italian server project gives you a larger piece of furniture to follow once you’ve seen how he handles a single surface.

Suzie Fletcher
Look up the leather satchel Suzie Fletcher tackles in the Sea Serpent Pen Holder episode of The Repair Shop. It’s a useful way into her work because leather that’s been handled for years has to stay recognizable to its owner. Watch how she treats the folds and seams.

Will Kirk
Try the Asko coffee table or the family writing bureau he works on in The Repair Shop. The table is a good starting point if you like midcentury design. With the bureau, watch which areas of the wood need attention and which already tell you how the piece was made and used.

David Murray
Start with Murray’s Commodore PET restoration, then find the same model in his history series. Watching the two together shows what repair makes possible. Once the machine runs, you can see how the PET actually worked instead of hearing its specs read over a photograph.

Lucia Scalisi
Look for the portrait with a family story that goes back to 1940s Italy in The Repair Shop. Scalisi lifts dust and grime from the painted surface while Dominic Chinea makes a new frame. It’s a good episode for seeing how two different kinds of care can help bring the same piece back into view.

Steve Fletcher
Find the French Beliard clock episode of The Repair Shop. Fletcher says the clock had taken a knock and sourcing the right mainspring complicated the job. It’s a good example to watch if you want to see how finding a compatible part can decide the course of a mechanical repair.

Kirsten Ramsay
Start with the kickboxing trophy she takes on in The Repair Shop. Pair it with the West Dean interview in which she talks about her training and the tools she still uses. The two are a good introduction to the specialist work behind repairs to fragile objects.

Neil Thomas
Find the Amiga 500 installments of Trash to Treasure. Thomas has singled them out as the series that first brought many viewers to his channel. Then look at The Cave, where the machines can be played. His work connects the repair of one computer with a place to try that generation of hardware.

Edd China
Born
Look up the early Workshop Diaries episodes on the 1982 Range Rover. The project carries over from one episode to the next, so you can follow the checks and setbacks as China tries to bring the neglected vehicle back into service. Start here if you prefer seeing a mechanic work through a problem over a few visits.

Fuzz Townshend
Born
Try the episode of Car S.O.S. on the 1961 Austin-Healey 3000. Townshend and the team work on a recognizable British sports car with an owner waiting to see it run again. Watch the workshop portions for the practical decisions that have to happen before the handover.
