You do phenomenal work, thank you for a great series. I've built ship models on and off for 40 years, never ventured into bottles. A coworker gave me an old ship in bottle and I'm embarking on the project. Thanks for explaining this so well!
I love ship models William and would absolutely love to see some of your work. Feel free to send some pictures to kennye@acutabovewoodworkings.com. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words. Good luck on your project.
Kenny, great attention to detail but from you I wouldn’t expect anything less. Really good progress so far and I am looking forward to part 3.
Glad to hear that you're tuning in and enjoying the series Paul. It really is a fun project to work on. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir.
You inspired me!, Great video!
I'm glad to hear it Ron. Good luck with your project. There is another ship in a bottle series on my channel where I place 2 ships in one bottle and use a different method for the water. If you are interested, just search my channel for ships in a bottle. Thanks for tuning in.
It's really starting to take shape Kenny, thank you for sharing with us.
Glad that you like it Raymond. Thanks for tuning in.
It's easy to believe it takes several hours to do just one part of the build. It's all detail work and it's looking sharp. 👍
Thanks for the kind words on the project James. I appreciate you tuning in.
This is a brilliant piece.
Glad that you are liking it Mark. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
Looking good Kenny, can't say much about my eyes though watching all this small stuff though ha ha ha.
Stay Safe,

Glad that you're liking it Barry. Sounds like it's time for a larger computer screen for you. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
For portholes, you could taper down one dowel so it’s just a little bit smaller. Do the first dot in brass or gold, then come back in black to make a rimmed window. Add a dot of clear glue or nail polish to make a glazed window
That's a great idea John. I love it. I'm sure there are plenty of methods that could be utilized for a ship in a bottle once the initial processes are learn. Thanks for thinking outside of the box and for chiming in with your idea. I appreciate it. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings My pleasure, I really enjoyed watching your process. I’m looking forward to taking on one of these soon.
@@johnbeauvais3159 It will be the most satisfying project you have ever made. If you haven't already, you should check out my other ship in a bottle build where I actually do two ships and use a different method for the ocean or water. Also, don't use CA glue inside the bottle. It will haze your bottle and you will have to get inside and polish it to get rid of the haze.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I just started that series, and I wish I could have warned you about CA. I do a fair bit of scale modeling and have hazed clear parts before. If the haze is in an inaccessible spot you can wet a cotton ball with acetone and hold it in with tweezers, the vapors should clear the hazing.
@@johnbeauvais3159 I was able to clear the hazing using rubbing alcohol and cotton pads attached to shop made tools. Glad to hear that you already are aware of the CA glue fiasco. I hope you enjoy the second series.
Interesting video, thanks for taking your time to show us all the minute details. Any reason for changing the location of the life boat, cabin and hatches from where you first thought you would put them?
At this point, it was all about personal preference and I just didn't like them where I set them at first. Everything just looked too symmetrical and spaced out and the more I looked at it (and pictures of sailing vessels on the internet), the more I didn't like my setup. It's all a matter of what looks good to the builder in this case. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your question and the kind words.
Awesome
Glad that you liked it Bob. Thanks for tuning in.
Because I don't have any fancy tools, I'm just gonna take any old left over soft wood I can find in my backyard and use an x-acto knife to shape it the way I want :D
Great idea Mehak. You have to use what you have at your disposal and I'm sure that your method will work perfectly. Good luck on your build. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
What tool did you use to secure the lifeboat while you carved it out? I need to get one!
I used a jeweller's pin vise to hold the lifeboat during carving. It worked really well. Here's a link to the one I purchased. I hope it helps. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your build.
عمل رائع
Thank you for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. I appreciate it.
What is a “creat block”? The thing you used to unclog you sandpaper round.
A "crepe" block Mindy, is a block that is used to clean your sanding disc, drum, belt etc. It seriously extends the life of your sandpaper and does a great job a cleaning it to prevent the dust buildup from burning your stock. Here's a link. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/sanding/accessories/20192-crepe-blocks
I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thanks so much. I’m going go get one. Thank for your videos. There helpful and fun to watch. My kids 7,9,13) like to watch with me.
@@mindymarsh3825 Well I hope that your children enjoy the show. I love it when parents get their children involved in working with their hands. It's just great parenting. Well done. Thanks for the kind words on the show.
Where did you buy the pin vise?
The jeweller's drill that I use in this show was purchased at Lee Valley tools. Here's a link for you. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/drills/32297-jewellers-drill?item=33J6101
I hope it helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show Michael.
Wat of i dont have a dremel tool or a power carver?
These are small enough projects that the hull of the ship can be carved by hand. All you need is a knife and some patience. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Now, if you were only 60" tall instead of 74 things would be a lot easier! Regards, Bill
Thanks for tuning in Bill.
Why are you using oil-based paint instead of acrylics?
I use the oil based paint in the resin for the water because I find it mixes better and gives a much less opaque finished product. I use the oil based paints on the hull of the ship because the water in the acrylic paint can raise the grains of the wood and cause a horrible finish that requires multiple sanding sessions and multiple paint jobs to correct. I hope this helps Mary. Thanks for tuning in. (if you really wish to use acrylic paints on the ship, I would suggest sealing the wood first before you actually paint it.)
Thanks for the quick and helpful reply.@@acutabove_woodworkings
