I'm afraid I'm going to have to google this one. I'll keep it to myself though, and let GB try.
Got it now. Good one.
You're probably kicking yourself
Great film hey?

Yes a good film, he does make strange ones.
What are you up to in sunny Spain today. I'm clearing the garden, after laying a concrete base for my workshop yesterday.

Cheers Huon
but tbh it is still pretty rough
I'm really happy with the size and shape

It dose feel nice to handle.

I just like the way the grain is on Yew always seems to come up nice.

1941 September 1 - . Launch Vehicle: Me-163.
Me-163A first flight. - . Nation: Germany. Messerschmitt Me-163A powered by "cold" H. Walther rocket successfully flown at Augsburg, Germany, development of which had begun in 1937, but "cold" engine proved unreliable. Flights were also made in October which reached speeds of 1,003 km/hr, or Mach 0.85.
German winged rocketplane. The rocket-powered Messerschmitt Me-163 was the world's first and only operational pure rocket fighter and represented the culmination of Alexander Lippisch's years of research in rocketplanes, tail-less aircraft, and delta wings. As a weapon, the Me-163 had tremendous speed but very limited range. However the concepts developed by Lippisch contributed to the Space Shuttle and Buran orbiters of a quarter century later.
The Me-163 had the following characteristics:
Single-seat interceptor
Powerplant: one 1,700 kgf thrust Walter 109-509A-2 rocket motor
Max. Speed: 960 km/hr; cruise 800 km/hr; landing speed 80 m/s
Range: 80 km during a 7.5 minute flight time. 12 km altitude reached in 3.3 minutes
Dimensions: span 9.33 m; length 5.70 m
Takeoff mass: 3995 kg loaded with 2 x Mk 118 x 60 rockets
Payload: 250 kg (550 lb) to a 12 km altitude.

I must admit I do like working with Yew.
I love the smell of Araldite in the morning or is it Napalm

I love "Apocalypse now".
"Do, or do not. There is no try."
You love small, wrinkly, swamp-dwelling masters too I think.
Has anyone got my last one yet?

Hey Colin
I wait till it's finished first. it is really on this thread to annoy GB.
and because you and Huon where talking handles as I was sanding it at the time.
I had just got bored with not being able to find what I was looking for.
So I said to myself, Sod it, I'm just going to make one.
This is my first attempt at making a stick, with some guidance from a mate and a book.
It is beginning to looking the part now.
