Jim Goodwin, a retired geologist, started out making model ships sans bottles, but eventually decided to take his ship-making skills a step further by building his first ship in a bottle.
“I started out in December of 1999 when a friend of mine suggested that I try it,” Goodwin tells Popular Mechanics. “So I read two books and I got hooked on the engineering aspect of having the mast collapse, as well as building the vessel so that it would insert into the mouth of the bottle and then [raise] the mast up and [make] sure that it would fit inside the bottle.”

Can you please send me your polo shirt because I really need it and because I love it please send it to me
I'm
Only $150 per piece sounds insanely underpriced for this quality
are you all there in the head??
@@snakesonn3590 Pretty sure this guy lives in America, not India.
@@rockets4kids sorry
With the amount of labor and attention to detail invested into the craft, I would say it should cost at least $350 if not more.
@@rockets4kidsyeah man
I used to think the entire thing was built inside the bottle with various long tweezers, thanks for the info. 👍
I was on the other side... I thought the put the ship inside and then fused the bottle-bottom on. Edited: turns out that cutting off the bottle, inserting the ship, and then gluing the bottom back on is actually one of the methods.
Yup, I'm kind of disappointed that they don't build them in the bottle.
omg that's what I thought too! Was convinced the builder has really nimble and precise hands to manipulate the tools thru the small bottle opening in order to build the ship from scratch inside the bottle. Seriously it is NOW that I know they make the masts collapsible in order to pull off the stunt.
That sounds like it would be damn near impossible.
@@grapeeggplant3863 Hence the impressiveness of hearing about someone making a ship in a bottle. I'm sure it's not literally impossible, they have tools and stuff for surgeons to operate inside of a person doing little more than a sliver of a cut to put their tools in, I'm sure someone could do something inside of a bottle.
My skills are emptying bottles.
Top tier 😂
that is some serious dad energy
2:11 nothing like a good ol' stolen joke.
😂😂😂
My mannn 😂
He absolutely loves that “I’ve been hitting the bottle since” joke.
"I've been hitting the bottle for 23 years now..." lol This man must be a hoot at parties!
He seemed to be really proud of that one.
Haha, it's definitely not the first time he's said that
I worked beside a woodworking shop he used, some years back. He would come in occasionally and we would have conversations about all kinds of things. Fascinating man!
@@arinlee143source - trust me bro
As a kid I had no idea how people made these so I came up with two explanations.
1. They just cut the bottle in half, put the ship inside, and glued the glass together.
2. The ship was collapsible like a pop-up book and was jammed through the opening of the bottle and would unfold once inside.
As a kid I had another idea - that the ship was made of very little planks and other elements and they used very thin and long tweezers to assemble everything together inside of the bottle...
@@angrypotato_fz yup same here
I'm so happy for this man that he found something that he loves so much that he is willing to do it until his last breath, and he'll probably still have a smile on his face. What a peaceful life.
I like his way of speaking; it's as if he's a philosopher, finding deep meaning in the creation of ships in a bottle.
Crafts involve deep concentration, to the point that many craftsmen enter a meditative state while in "the zone." They are so focused that the logical, verbal and the non-verbal parts of the brain work as one.
Making crafts is a good way to find deep thought.
There's this book called "Meaning in Technology" by Arnold Pacey (IIRC) that goes more in depth about that topic among others.
" You either have patience or you lose it. " I laughed out more than I should. Hahaha

Such a BALLER line, I INSTANTLY wrote it down as a sentence to burn into my memory.
My comment is a thanks specifically to Jim Goodwin. Ive had a pretty rough day and your attitude and your gusto towards your hobby brought me a big wave of positivity that i really needed. Thank you Jim Goodwin, and all your ships.
I would just like to make space to appreciate the production. Both the interview shots and the B-roll looked great.

I've come to realize I enjoy seeing people passionately talk and present about their niche interests.
I've literally just saw this video in my suggested feed some 10 minutes ago but now this man is my inspiration.
its amazing and a miracle he still has so much dexterity in his hands performing this meticulous craft
this was like peeking behind the magician's curtain..
👌🏼
He is a joy to listen to❤
Protect this man at all cost
Some people empty bottles, some people fill them back in.
Some have sorrow to empty them, some have skill to fill them up
I always figured there must be some kind of clever way of building the ship outside the bottle and then inserting it, turns out it's just some hinges, string, a long pair of tweezers, and a ton of patience and skill to make it look good.
Interesting but how it's made is only superficially touched on.
One of my favorite jokes in the New Yorker was a drawing of two older women looking at a ship in a bottle on the mantle. It had a huge mouth and a rather tiny sailing ship that would easily pass through the opening. One said to the other, "Well, that's the story of Fred's life."
Thank you. This was fascinating!
"I'm making plenty of mistakes, so I'm making a lot of appeasements to the Gods" - Woah, that's such a good line! 4:52
Beautiful. There are so many things that one can get the happiness from and this seems to be one of it. Wish you a good health and many more ships.
this guy is AWESOME!!! Love his work!!
I could never do this as a hobby but I appreciate the hell out of this mans work.
From a painter’s perspective: try to improve your colors for the ocean/sea by adding more brownish grey and per haps a bit of green. It will make your bottles look even better.
Other tip: perhaps experiment with colored glass. It can give a mysterious image.
Beautiful documentary! And an absolutely cool dude!
This was fascinating, thank you for sharing!
I envy the peace he had with finding his enduring passion.
Always been curious about how they do it. Love it, fascinating.
Underated channel ❤❤❤
This is awesome!!!
this is fascinating and beautiful! Great work and great video! This filled my heart with warmth :)
"I will probably go to my grave or die at the workbench"
I honestly have no words for this but i still want to mention it's special to me....
My grandpa had ship-in-a-bottle that was made of blown glass.
He always had the coolest stuff.
Nice job man!
As a kid I bought a ship in bottle model kit at Disney World. It was fun to make. As an adult I put a Rubik’s cube in a bottle. That was fun too.
This was awesome.
This was great!!
My man is having the life❤
Look at his workshop. Insane.
Amazing guy!
thanks for the cool SoL manga idea!!
Amazing.
Heard of ships in bottles since childhood, and always felt it seemed fascinating. This is my first TH-cam video about it. Funny thing . I recently saw The Good Shepard for the second time, and in one of the opening scenes, Matt Damon's character is completing a ship in the bottle project, and that by itself was pretty cool. Congrats to all of you patient hobbyists !
That's also where I first saw the secret of how they get them in the bottle from "The Good Shepherd" movie lol
@@QuasiMonkey Well I'm a movie fan, more than old enough to have seen quite a few movies, and I can't think of any other with a scene like that. Imagine the people who never heard of or saw a ship in a bottle ! That scene might look crazy to them or something.
That’s amazing!
Talent on another level 💖😊😍
Patience, indeed.
Wonderful
Great job great clip. What a gentleman. I have one gifted to me. Thankfully 🙏🙏🌷
Congrats!
That's sick !
Super cool!
You have probably seen the Tally Ho project on You Tube. Have you considered making that boat in a bottle?
I was thinking the same thing.
If Leo had some of Tally Hos wood left over, this guy could put Tally Ho in a bottle.. that would be great!
Just love this❤
Rad!!!! That guy is a legend
Pure artist 🎨 ❤
Dedication! 🖤
amazing
What a lovely man.
Her very cool work very inspiring
Hitting the bottle…😂 good one!
Very Cool !!! 👍
Keep cooking bud, God done gave you TALENT!
Hey Jim, I want to put Das Boot in a bottle. 01:32 scale.
What bottle do I need please?
My man was so proud of that hitting the bottle joke
Kinda weird I was a work last week thinking about a ship in a bottle for no reason. Then on TH-cam I see this video being recommended. Funny 😅
I have one that is nearly 200 years old! Built by my great great grandfather
Reminds me of childhood.
You mentioned about books, Which books did you read ?
Blow their minds , try a klein bottle 😊, excellent work
Love your work mate❤️
True craftsmen are a dying breed these days unfortunately.
He should stream his builds... Cmon!!!!
Is that the Queen Anne's Revenge at 5:15? It looks like his flag on the smaller ship but I thought the Q.A.R. was closer to the size of the larger one behind it.
As much as finding bottles is great. There is a lot of glass artists in America who'd jump to donate a bottle or custom make them for you. This seems like an easy collab to happen. Cause a lot of people make crazy functional glass, but also non functional. Involving someone not actually in their field like you is better for them. and if you're aware of CFL Glass you could even create separate scenes in the bottle per the light shining on the bottle.
Got the patience nailed, just got work on the frustration..
He's so charming!
Good watch
I dont think i will ever make a ship in a bottle but i would love to own one at some point
When I used to visit my Dad in prison in Mexico there were inmates that could do this and sold them at a ridiculously low price although they didn't have anything to do it was still very cheap for the amount of hours involved
"I've been hitting the bottle for 23 years now..." said so deadpan! 🤣I always wanted to know how they were made and the TH-cam dark overlords read my mind! Mr Goodwin's art is simply amazing! I hope the next generation will carry on the tradition, but TikTok is telling me differently.
Hey, you should try a epoxy for the water. That be amazing.
Admirable artist, who has deep dived not just in the art but in life.
I guess for beginners a tall wine carafe might be good. Has anyone tried a 50s era water cooler bottle ??
This is awesome, tho how does he make the ship stick on the ocean base haha.
Looks like the ship has two holes on the bottom that connect with two round pegs on the ocean base. Tiny drop of wood glue inside the holes should keep it secure enough once it eventually dries.
A ship has no business been in a bottle. Be a bit like me in a library.
I always wondered howd they managed to put it inside a bottle
Cool!
Now try making a Star Destroyer in a bottle. 🚀
I must really be drunk to have the patience to do this, good thing it comes with the hobby.
Best
Great video. Would it be OK if I put a link to this video on my Tinder profile? The women will go crazy!
Him: "I've been hitting the bottle for-"
Me: (instantly stops watching)
So you wait for a huricane to colect a wood, legend
Living with the bottle that is the way it is.
Very nice but I’m a construction worker and if it doesn’t fit get a bigger hammer I don’t have the patience for that but still vey nice 😊

I always wondered how they made these. Lol

I’m taking that perfection/mistake advice into my grave ❤
