    Garden fence replacement....

    If the posts are in good condition I would measure the gap very carefully and compare a few fence panels as it is often possible to 'pop' a panel in with careful bending. Bending can be made easier by removing the top and bottom rail on one side only. Second option is feather edge board and...

    Helping out a family member

    Getting all sorts of alarm bells here, as I think you have too. Think the advice to keep well away is spot on.

    Axminster AC370WL wood lathe. Speed lever issue.

    I'm not familiar with that exact model but if it's a reeves drive then it may be in need of a bit of lubrication where the pulley halves slide on their shafts. A spray can of grease with a thin nozzle should get it where it is needed but use it sparingly

    greenhouse, glasshouse, garden room, conservatory, crystal palace

    Having once worked in a walled kitchen garden with Victorian wooden glasshouses all I can say is think very carefully about access for maintenance/painting

    Variable speed Motor

    This one is 130 mm overall apparently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126278335780?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hytrfucksis&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_XwgzqajSc-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    EBay info

    +1 for speaking to eBay, we've found them very helpful in the past. The advantage to this is you get back your fees and avoid negative feedback

    Clarke BS1 Belt Sander - Roller Bearings in front roller - cannot find replacements???

    My first ports of call would be either Bearing Boys or Simply Bearings, they seem to cover most things and are pretty helpful

    Wood 'Grown to shape'

    There was a time when the woodsmen working an area would have known just the right trees for a particular job. Met a Sussex woodsman some years back who could tell you just where the right trees for a cruck frame were in his patch

    Block paving not draining problem

    a new era of low cost, accessible and efficient heating?

    These are available and sound like similar technology, reviewed very favourably on Robert Llewellyn's Fully Charged channel a while back. Look like they'd work well in the right situation https://www.herschel-infrared.co.uk/
