- On this week's show, I start a 6 part series to demonstrate, step by step, how to make your own ship in a bottle. I hope you enjoy the series.
If you haven't already, please don't forget to like and subscribe and click the bell so that you don't miss the notifications of future episodes of the show.
Thank you so much for dropping by the channel and taking the time to watch the program. It is very much appreciated.
This is one of those things that I don't think I will ever actually do but I really want to know how to do it.
Don't sell yourself short Mark. You should really give it a try. I hope you enjoy the series. Thanks for tuning in sir.
I’ve always wanted to make one of these, so I’m really looking forward to us making a classic ship in a bottle.
I hope you and yours are staying well.
Barb!!!! I haven't heard from you in so long. I wish you luck with your ship in a bottle build. Please don't hesitate to ask questions along the way. As always, I'd be more than happy to help out if I can. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Man is this going to be good. You have me glued Kenny.
I hope you continue to enjoy the series Michael. Looking forward to your comments throughout the build. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great.
Hello from Croatia
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
This is really excellent. You are keeping an ancient craft alive. Love your attention to detail. Subscribed! Thanks so much!
Glad to have you as a subscriber Marc. With over 500 episodes of the show on the channel, I hope that there will be other shows that will interest you. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to chime in with your comment. It's very much appreciated.
Loved watching the entire series.. you have explained the process beautifully.. my kid was equally engrossed and excited in watching this.. thanks for making this tutorial.. when you were finding it difficult to insert the ship inside the bottle, we were equally tensed.. in the end, it gave us a sense of achievement even though we were just spectators..
Thank you for the kind words on the show. I'm glad to hear that this was a family event. Getting children interested in woodworking and crafting is what will keep it going for the next generations as well as create memories that will last a lifetime for both you and your child. I hope that you will make the decision to move from spectator to maker because the satisfaction only intensifies with having your own ship in a bottle sitting on the shelf and being able to say "I made that". If you should make one, and have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd be more than happy to answer your questions if I can. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. I truly appreciate it.
This was one of my interests.
Scooners look good in narrow bottles and square rigs look better in fatter rounded bottle.
Gerard.
Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts and for tuning in Gerard. It is appreciated.
you are so cool it makes me want to do jumping jacks!~
Not exactly sure what the point is to this comment, but thanks for tuning in.
Thank you so much for making a user friendly ship in the bottle video. I'm a beginner myself and following your videos is very easy to understand. I can't wait to try this it for myself. Thank you again
You're very welcome Andy. I hope you enjoy the 6 part series. Good luck on your project and if, at any point in time you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I’m super into pirates and have been wanting to get into building ships in a bottle thank you for this
This is an incredible project that is just a ton of fun. I'm in the process of filming a second tutorial on this which should air before the end of the year. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in.
I have always admired ships in a bottle. Now I can not wait to make one of my own.
Btw ..I fully agree that slow and sure is the way to go with this project.
I hope that this series doesn't not disappoint you Richard and that you will be following along and making your own version of this classic project. The satisfaction level is through the roof with this one so get cracking and start the build. Thanks for tuning in this week and taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate your dedication to the show.
This is kind of ironic! Last week I was involved in an obscene project of getting a huge air (not hair!) dryer into a structure that featured doorways (double) that were about 32” shorter than the dryer. Had to lay the behemoth on its back, roll it on pipes into the building, turn it 90 degrees, roll it another dozen feet (it was taller than the bottom cord of the roof trusses also), then stand it up with chain falls and many Rolaids. I told the young bucks that it was like building a ship in a bottle, and none had ever heard of such a thing! YOU’RE A WEEK LATE KENNY! I needed proof! Looking forward to this one! Thanks!
Well now you have the proof Tom. Steer all the young bucks to the show and they can see for themselves what getting large things into small spaces is all about. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Tom. I hope you enjoy the series. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings GREAT reply!
A good choice of project. Really looking forward to it.
Glad that you approve John. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
I like this. I've been wanting to do this hobby since 2011. Back in 2019 I bought 3 books on the subject. All 3 books very short but gives sufficient instructions. I have lots of wood working tools so that's not an issue. I'm better at watching and doing as a learner. So I like your style a lot!
Glad that you are liking the style of the show. The entire purpose of the show is to actually teach someone how to make a ship in a bottle as apposed to the normal TH-cam shows of "look what I made". I hope that you are able to make a successful project. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have at any point in time and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I'm on episode 6 now. Watching the ship go inside and sit on the white silicone was really scary! The whole time I was watching that I was curious if the white silicone is strong enough to secure the ship. In 1 of the books I have the author says plasticine is another sea material. I have my tools and materials setup the exact same way you have this. How did you clean up the oops silicone in the neck? By far you're the best teacher on this subject because you respond to your viewers. I'm loving this series!
@@mrthomas7511 Thanks for the kind words on the series. The silicone in the neck was easily wiped up while it was still wet. There were a few small areas that I missed but they rubbed off quite easily after they were dry. As for the white silicone, it holds the ship perfectly and very securely. Much more secure than the modelling clay that a lot of builds suggest. As for it being scary with the ship squeezing into the bottle...you should have seen it from my point of view. I don't think I was breathing the entire time I was wiggling the ship through the bottle's opening. LOL. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the series.
@@acutabove_woodworkings If you made another ship in a bottle and put the directions on a dvd I would buy it in a heartbeat! How calm you present the steps is perfect. One of the books I have is ship wrecks in a bottle. I would like to see your take on that idea
@@mrthomas7511 I've read that book. It's well done and I am hoping that at some point, I would like to do a Titanic sinking in a bottle. I just have to work out the details.
🎉❤
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in
This is so cool! Thanks for providing this tutorial!
You're very welcome Billy. I hope you enjoy the entire series. It was a load of fun to make. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
The secret krabby patty formula is finally mine😂😂 that’s how I feel😂😂
I hope that's a good thing Andrew. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Kenny, I have been waiting for this series, glad it has finally made the cut. I see there were teasers again out on the table saw and the workbench. Did Mrs Kenny give you the haircut?
I always cut my own hair Paul. Mrs Kenny refuses to cut my hair because she is afraid that she will mess it up. I've told her that there isn't much left to mess up so cut away!!! LOL. Those darn teasers in the background. That's the problem with working on multiple shows and multiple projects at the same time I guess. You're bound to leave something lying around for someone to view. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show Paul. I hope you enjoy the series.
Nice one Kenny, i'm really looking forward to these other parts, seeing everything come together.
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
Glad to hear it Barry. I'm looking forward to your future comments on the series. Thanks for tuning in this week and taking the time to leave a comment.
As a kid I always think the bottle had to be cut off at the bottom 🤣🤣 This dude is very detailed and informative with his video 💖
I hope you enjoy the rest of the series Lisa. I also hope that you will try a project like this for yourself. It's an awful lot of fun. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I will certainly try. Thanks for sharing 💖
@@lisabornfree2376 If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask. Also, there is another ship in a bottle series on the channel where I put two ships in the bottle and I use a different method to reproduce the water. It might help you as well. Here's a link to part one . th-cam.com/video/OSxXXiTQmuU/w-d-xo.html
Oh Mr. Earrings!!! I have such a dilemma here!!!! Should I watch each segment, or save all the segments for a binge watch!!!???? I have been a collector of Ships in Bottle for a few years and have wanted to make one of my own ever since. AAARGGHH, decisions, decisions! Thanks for this series, gonna be cool. Regards, from a Gal, in your guys intro! LOL
Glad to have you on board for this series Kathleen. I hope that it doesn't disappoint. I would suggest watching each week and then once all 6 episodes have been aired, binge watch just before creating your own masterpiece. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It's appreciated.
Muy interesante, sin duda un bello proyecto.
I'm glad that you liked it José. I appreciate you tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave the kind words. Thank you.
This should be interesting as well as one of the more challenging wood working projects someone with your skills can make. As for myself, I'll need to work up to something like this. :)
Hopefully James, at the end of the series, you will have the confidence to try this yourself. It's doable. Honest. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
This will be very interesting as I have always wondered how it was done.
Well after the 6 part series is over Bruce, not only will you know how it's done, but you will be able to make your own. Thanks for tuning in this week. I hope you will continue to enjoy the rest of the build.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Not only did I find the video tutorial on a non kit ship in a bottle build but I also found what I believe is a kindred spirit who loves working with wood. 😍 And what is this did I see a dice tower video!? Could this guy be a tabletop RPG player as well!? Any thoughts on combining RPG tabletop terrain with the woodworking? I can't subscribe fast enough!
Glad to hear that you have subscribed to the channel Jesse. Welcome aboard. Glad to have you as a subscriber. With over 600 episodes of the show on the channel, I'm sure there is some other shows that you will enjoy. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave a comment. For the record, I haven't considered tabletop terrain with woodworking.......yet.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I was very excited to see a the different projects that you've covered. I've recently stepped away from building tabletop terrain and started woodworking. I love your taste in woodworking projects! I find myself drawn to many of the same types of varying works. I am currently working on carving a stargazer or viking chair. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Very interesting!
Glad that you liked it Rod. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Kenny, just started watching this series. But I’m a bit apprehensive, don’t want to spoil the mystique.
Well watching this series will definitely spoil any mystery there was about ships in a bottle. On the plus side though, you will have all the information you need to make your own version of this classic project. Thanks for tuning in to the show Philip. I hope you enjoy the series.
This is so fascinating and I never knew how this was done. I have a bottle that once held alcohol, the carved wood model inside seems to retain moisture...do you know how to rid the bottle of it? I was thinking of putting some of those moisture-control packets in there, but wanted to see if you had better advice!
So you have a ship in a bottle (already made) that seems to hold the moisture. I have to ask, how do you know that the model retains the moisture. My suggestion for this would be to remove the bottle cap or cork and place it in a room with a dehumidifier running for a few days. I had one that had the inside of the glass fog up all the time and I realized that it was I had it near a window that the sunlight hit the glass and caused a change in temperature which fogged up the glass. I think it would be very unlikely that there would still be moisture in the bottle if it was made some time ago. I hope this helps a little. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thank you, I will try that, it’s an old French liquor bottle with a hand carved wood figurine in it -I came to your channel to see how ships in bottles were made, as I’ve wondered about how my particular bottle art was crafted . It hasn’t had alcohol in it for a long time, yet clouds up so I’ll give your suggestions a try. Thanks again!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Anyone ever do a more modern boat? I have a 1988 Hunter H23. It would be cool to make a replica of my boat for a bottle.
There's no reason why you couldn't do that. You might have to make it in sections and then assemble it in the bottle the way that large pirate ships are done. Make the replica of your boat by splitting the hull in half so that it fits through the bottle neck and then glue it together once the pieces are in the bottle. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in
What is your ruler call with the right angle and holes please? I would like to order one.
That ruler is called a T-rule and it is made by a company called INCRA. It is available at most woodworking suppliers or you can order it directly from incra.com. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thank you, very helpful.
@@thebarronflights You're very welcome.
it always suprises me how they do it
It's a great process and a lot of fun. I hope you will give this a try. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Hi Kenny just wanted to know where you bought your bottle.
I bought this bottle at Michael's Craft store William. However, I have had luck finding bottle at yard sales as well. You will most likely see some of them during my next ship in a bottle tutorial on a future show. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
building a ship in a bottle to me means actually BUILDING it inside the bottle ... not making it outside and sliding it in ... done the latter way you are inserting a ship in a bottle NOT building it IN the bottle .. may as well cut the bottom off or cut it in half along the mold seam and build it that way then reseal it ..
The method that I display in this series is a traditional method for making ships in bottles. There are no ships that are built, piece by piece inside the bottle. There is one slightly similar process in where a galleon ship might be made that is too large to insert through the neck. For this, the ship is made (outside the bottle) in sections and the smaller sections are then inserted through the neck and assembled on the interior of the vessel. You would be pretty hard pressed to find anyone who builds the entire ship inside the bottle but I wish you luck on your search. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
