A sign of the times the engineering company we have used in the UK for many years have ceased trading.

 

Are there any others who can turn 12 ft shafts of 2 and a half inch diameter ?

 

Anywhere in the UK please.

I could do it in theory, if it's only the ends which need to be machined, but there must be still plenty of jobbing shops which could do it especially in the midlands.

Why so long? Narrow Boat shafting would commonly be in two pieces, much cheaper to renew when it wears out .

I re-build my boats as original which is one complete shaft from the bolinder thrust bearing to the blade

If stuck, give me a shout, I certainly could do it. I'm in N. Cheshire.
