Excellent series, so glad I found this as I am restoring an old ship on bottle this instruction is so clear, concise and interesting perfectly done love it
When I was a kid living in Norway, my uncle Arne had a few either on his mantle or a shelf. I would stand there admiring the craftsmanship (like yours) and wonder how they got them in the bottle. Thank you for this series. :)
Well now you know James....or at least you will know by the end of the series. Jump in and try one for yourself. They are truly a load of fun to make. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your story. I love it.
You're very welcome Kendra. I wish you all the success in your ship in a bottle build. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd be more than happy to help if I can. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Watching you do these complex, delicate operations while explaining your process in such a lovely calming way is wonderful! And I love the sense that you give that even if a person isn’t quite at your skill level or doesn’t have access to all the same tools, they could still attempt a simple version of this project!
Although the ship in a bottle is an impressive (and intimidating) project Stella, it is completely doable by any skill level. I try to keep the show accessible to all levels of woodworking and I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the channel. With well over 400 episodes on the show, there is plenty to choose from. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.
Brilliant Kenny i'm really enjoying this 'ship in a bottle' build and was glued to the screen watching you tie up that rigging. I'm looking forward to Sailing through (sorry couldn't resist) to part 5 next week. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the series Barry. The way things are going in this world, we could all use a little enjoyment. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Unfortunately Bruce, that happens. I guess you'll just have to wait until next Tuesday to see what's next on this build. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the series. Thanks for tuning in.
Loving it Kenny A really great series at least as interesting as your truck build which I loved and was inspired to build one myself. I will be building this model as well as I really love it Many thanks and keep up the great work.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the series John. I appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. Good luck on your version of this project and be sure to ask any questions that you may have.
Hi Kenny! I was taken aback at first that the rat lines were all going behind the mast. As you explained it I understood it but I was thinking you could put them in the proper position and use elastic cord and when you insert the ship the mast might actually stand up by itself due to the elasticity in the cords. What do you think? I am going to be looking at ships in bottles a whole lot closer in the future. Bill
I suppose you could use elastic rat lines Bill. I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only issue I can see is the fact that in order for them to be elastic, they would have to be thicker which may not be to scale for the model. Great suggestion though. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Kenny, I have been waiting to ask and I can’t wait any longer. Where is the hand carved figurehead for the bow of the ship? If there is going to be one who was the model? Lol, just kidding. The ship is coming along really nice, I am enjoying each video in the series.
Silly messy work shop guy......this is a schooner, not a galleon. Everyone knows that the figureheads are on the galleons. LOL. Maybe on the next one Paul. LOL. Thanks for tuning in sir and for the chuckle.
You don't need patience to do something you love to do JJE. Give it a try....you might just surprise yourself. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It's very much appreciated.
William, I get mine from Lee Valley. Some circles refer to them as 1/12" dowels. Here's a link for you. I hope it helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/joinery/dowel-rods/32722-micro-dowel-rods?item=41K9501
Oh sure, EZ line if you want to do it the easy way. LOL. As for "is there anything I can't do"....my father used to say that and my response was always this. "It's not that there isn't anything that I can't do but more that there isn't anything that I won't try". Trying to do something instead of saying "I could never do that" is what keeps people from realizing their full potential. Sometimes, you've got to just let go and give it a whirl. Thanks for tuning in to this week's show Philip and for taking the time to leave the kind words. It's appreciated more than you'll ever know.
Hello, my question is regarding a different subject, the Rikon Model 30-212VS: 12” VS Drill Press. I am about to purchase one and I believe you talked about what it is sitting on in your shop, I cannot seem to find that comment. I have made many shop stands, tables etc. and really don't want to build a stand for it. If you recall the brand and or dimensions of the tool chest you used I would greatly appreciate it. At your convienance of course Thanks Jim Bates, Ventura California.
Hi Jim. Thanks for contacting me with your question. The lower cabinet that I used to mount my drill press on was purchased from Home Depot here in Canada. I got it on a clearance sale for less than $100. Here's a link. www.homedepot.ca/product/husky-33-inch-h-x-28-inch-w-x-18-inch-d-4-drawer-steel-garage-base-cabinet/1000846223 Truth be told, it has been extremely handy as it also provides 4 drawers for my drilling accessories like drill bits, hand drills, sharpeners etc. It's really been a great setup. I hope this helps. I tried to find the same product on the American Home Depot website and they don't seem to carry this exact one. I would suggest checking your local big box store and watching for sales like I did. You're bound to find something that will suit your need perfectly. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's truly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
Very interesting and informative😍
Will try this as soon as possible.
I hope you do try this Abdelhamid. These projects are a lot of fun and truly enjoyable. Thank you for tuning in.
As always I love it and yes I plan on doing it
Glad to hear it Bob. It has been one of the most fun projects I have done in a while. I love it too. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Use a Lycra thread, it’s naturally stretchy and very fine. My concern would be over time the material wearing out and beginning to sag

Hey Kenny where in the world did you find 1/32 dowels for the spars. I can’t find them anywhere.
Correction I meant 3/32 dowel
William, I get mine from Lee Valley. Some circles refer to them as 1/12" dowels. Here's a link for you. I hope it helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Lee Valley William. Look for 1/12" micro dowels. I gave you a link in your correction post. I hope it helps.
Hi Kenny great series, is there anything you can’t do. Well done as usual. I know it’s to late now but some people use E Z line for the rigging.
Oh sure, EZ line if you want to do it the easy way. LOL. As for "is there anything I can't do"....my father used to say that and my response was always this.

@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks very much for the info. I take a lot of pride in my garage/shop and I know you do as well.
Best regards, Jim
