A Guest on The Repair Shop Was Very Emotional

A guest on The Repair Shop was very emotional.

The guest, Robin, met Steve Fletcher and Dominic Chinea on the show.

Robin had a big globe that his great-grandfather made.

It was like a big clock that made the globe turn. The globe turned once every 24 hours. You could see what time it was anywhere in the world.

Steve and Dominic thought it was amazing. But Robin said it never worked when he was alive.

Steve and Dominic were very impressed with the globe.

Steve asked if Robin's great-grandfather was a clock maker. But he was a mechanical engineer who made the globe in his free time.

There was a newspaper article about the globe. It said the globe would chime every half hour. It took five years to make.

Robin's great-grandfather died when Robin was one year old. But Robin remembered the globe in his grandfather's house.

Robin wanted Steve and Dominic to fix the globe. His father had wanted to fix it too, but he never did.

The globe was very special to Robin.

Robin wanted to fix the globe for his family. He wanted to keep his family's legacy going.

Finally, Steve and Jonathan fixed the globe. Robin came back to see it.

When Robin saw the globe, he was very happy. He said it looked great and sounded lovely.

Robin was trying not to cry when he saw the globe.

When Steve turned on the clock, Robin laughed and cried. He wished his father could see it.

Robin said it was a very emotional moment. But it was also magical.

Steve said it was a great challenge to fix the globe. He thanked Robin for bringing it in.
