In this programme, Shona heads to Cothrom, a social enterprise in South Uist which has its own shop selling upcycled and other items with upcycling potential.

Shona helps Chris convert an old door into a lovely indoor bench, and then gets stuck into the painting with Maria and volunteers Archie and Angus John. Once the bench is finished, they take it through to be sold in the shop - for hopefully a much higher price than the original door would have fetched.

Shona also makes a wooden trivet for the kitchen using a section of scaffolding and some fridge magnets using old cards
