Meet the blokes who know how engines work, what to do with discarded bicycle parts, how to fix everything from bulldozers to sewing machines to prize-winning hotrods.

Mark Thomson, author of the runaway bestseller Blokes & Sheds, returns to lift the roofing iron and peek inside corrugated kingdoms across the nation.
