      @@acutabove_woodworkings now that I'm thinking about it, I saw an episode of star trek where someone had a starship in a bottle. That sparked curiositybf ow they out shipsbin bottles. But I still dont know how he got that starship in the bottle. It definitely doesnt fold down. I bet he cheated and transported it into the bottle.
      But thank you for answering a very old question I've had. The craftsmanship that goes into this is astounding.

      I know right? I always pictured them constructing a ship with little boards or something when I was a kid. I was amazed by how much control and skill that would take to construct it while it was in the bottle. I've known about this for awhile now, but I never new the actual process of putting it all together. It's a great series.

    Hi Kenny, great instructive series. Way back i made several ships in bottles much smaller scale, in fact i used the old Dimple bottles when i could get them. Very narrow neck to work with though. After working out the space inside the bottle i used plasticine (warmed a little to make it pliable ) to build the sea bed, i had numerous tools for the projects the best one was a long piece of steel rod with a dish shaped scoop on the end to load the small lumps into the bottle, the rod was very log so as to get some leverage and press the sea bed into position. It was very quick and you can tweak it to your hearts content, The white caps were painted on with a tiny brush on brazing wire/rod. Before starting the seabed i used a stained aged piece of paper with the date and my name on it, slightly burnt at the edges for effect under the seabed, looked very effective. i used stained till roll paper for the sails, very versatile to work with and doesn't tend to crease so readily. With the seabed finished i would use a dummy hull and press it in position to make a good impression then remove it when done. I used broken darning needles with filed edges for drills. Small broken pieces of razor blades glued to wire or dowels for very close cutting. Also used a tiny drop of nail varnish on wire as glue, its possible to use the minutest drop to do the job, not as quick but a neat finish. When the ship is set i would finish the neck with a small cork bung then use a Monkey fist knot around the end of the neck to hide the cork.I would then stand the bottle on its end and melt Red sealing wax so that it covered the end of the cork and ran a little over the knot.The finishing touch though was by using an English halfpenny piece, some have a ship engraved on the face, I would have one glued to a piece of dowel and while the wax was warm press the coin into it to leave the image of the ship, a very nice finish. Sorry to go on, but i thought it may give you or others a couple of ideas to try ? you have inspired me to start the hobby again but i will work on the larger scale from now on and follow your series. Well done, very well presented needed lots of forward planning i can imagine. All the best,Pete.UK.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings

      These are all wonderful suggestions Pete. I especially love the burnt edge paper beneath the sea. I haven't done a ship in a bottle for a while but I'm getting the itch again and your comment may have pushed me in the right direction with your wonderful suggestions. The wax, the knot etc etc etc. All wonderful. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your detailed comment. I truly appreciate it.

    This was a great series. It would be possible for someone to follow it to create their own ship in the bottle fairly easily.
    It takes me back to 1975 when I made my first, and only, ship in a bottle. Of course back then there was no TH-cam or other video source to learn from. The Internet hadn’t even been dreamed of much less available for the necessary research. I learned everything from a few books on the subject that I could find. For my ship I used a wood model kit of the USS Constitution. The finished ship was about 14 inches long so finding a bottle large enough for it to fit inside wasn’t easy. Back then CA glue wasn’t available. I used Duco cement which was a common glue used on wooden models at the time. Because the model I was using was designed to fit on a stand, not to go inside a bottle, I had to make significant modifications in the model and rigging plan. I also wanted the ship to look like it was sailing and the kit did not come with sails. I fabricated sails for my ship out of cloth and figured out how to attach them add the extra rigging. It took me most of the summer to build the model and prepare the bottle. In those days, according to the books I read, the most readily available substance for making the ocean was window glazing putty. I mixed some blue oil paint into some putty for the water and used white to form the wave caps and wake for the ship. Putting the ship into my bottle was similar to what you did with the exceptions of the yards on the masts that held the sails. They had to be pivoted so that they were parallel to the masts to fit into the bottle then set perpendicular to the masts. Of course by adding sails I made that process much more difficult than it would have been without them. Today I look in amazement at the model, which sits on a credenza behind my desk. I still can’t believe that I was able to put that model together much less slip it into a bottle. It was definitely one of the proudest moments of my woodworking and model making when I showed it to my wife when she came home from work that day.

      @acutabove_woodworkings  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow. What a great story Don. So you can fully understand the challenges and the joy of making a project like this. I hope that others read your story and that between my video series and your personal testimonial, they are inspired to give this a try and make their own. I think you summed it up beautifully when you said "It was definitely one of the proudest moments of my woodworking and model making..." and that pretty much describes the feeling of making one of these projects. The pride that you feel for accomplishing what most deem as unobtainable is just amazing. Thanks for tuning in to the series Don and for sharing your experience with me. I absolutely love it.

    OMG Kenny! I thought I was going to have another stroke watching you try to get that into the bottle. I had to remind myself to breathe! I couldn't imagine this being 6 parts when you finished part 2. With each new part, I was thinking it would be the last. Ok, I have to go sit down and recover now. But, before I do, I really liked the final product. You should be proud of it. Bill

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm glad that you liked the final project Bill. I wanted this series to give every piece of information so that the viewer could make their own ship in a bottle and have a series to refer to that would answer all their questions from start to finish. I hope that I have achieved that and I also hope that some of the viewers try this for themselves and send me some pictures of their creations.

  • @billjohnson7108
    @billjohnson7108 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Kenny. I finished my ship and had a fun time with it. I modified a few of your techniques to include:
    I used tinned 22ga. copper wire for the railing, soldered it all together then used a patina to darken it. Also, I extended the spar rigging where it connects to the masts so it would be easier to lay the masts down for insertion. Then when I erected the mast in the bottle, I pulled in the slack, glued it and cut off the excess with a red-hot wire. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Ive always wondered how these were made and now i know. Watched the whole series and kudos to you sir. Very well made but next thing that peaked my interest is the imperial units as i use the far superior metric system. Like what on earth were those guys smoking while coming up with it and still continuing to use it. 1" and 15/16 . Holy smokes 😂

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Imperial can be a confusing venture with fractions etc but I guess it is all relative to what you've been raised on and what you are used to. Even though Canada is a fully metric country, the woodworking tools and shop tools available are all still in Imperial. Metric bolts are a specialty item to purchase and the trades, up until recently, still working in Imperial. It's a confusing situation. LOL. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.

As well, there are ships that are made outside the bottle in sections and then the sections are placed in the bottle and glued back together. There are many methods to making a ship in a bottle and the one that I demonstrate on this show is just one of many. I just started a new series on the channel on building ships in a bottle.

    In the rigging stage would adding knots to the bottom position of the booms and masts helped to lock in their position so you would only have to glue the bowsprit?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's hard to say John. The threads are pretty small and knots move. Not to mention that getting them tight to the position that you want is next to impossible as the smaller thread, once knotted, seems to not like being positioned. I guess in theory, it would work but it could also be a huge pain in the butt. Thanks for tuning in.

      Truth be told, I had to remove the cork at one point and it was a snap to remove the adhesive and clean things up. After that experience, I actually glued in the second cork. You don't want air to get in there or dust for that matter. Gluing the cork will give you a great seal and keep it looking fantastic for many many years.

      There are plenty of sources for bottles Bill. I got this particular one from Michael's craft store but I have also got bottles from yard sales, rummage sales, recycling bins etc. Any bottle can be used for a ship in a bottle as long as the neck of the bottle is wide enough to get your collapsed ship through. As for the silicone, any big box store or hardware store. This is just regular white and clear silicone caulking that you would use in your home. Nothing special here. I hope this helps Bill. Good luck on your project. I'd love to see your finished product. Thanks for tuning in sir and please feel free to ask any questions that you might have along the way.

      The best thing abut ships in a bottle is that you don't need a lot of tools to be able to make them and in fact, some of the tools you can actually just make yourself. I used saws and sanders etc but you can easily use a pocket knife to carve out the body of the ship. Use whatever you have at your disposal. Because the ships are never touched, you can even make parts out of foam core and use a craft knife to cut it. The sky is the limit with these projects and you are only limited by your imagination. Very little tools required. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings

      You can definitely built it piece by piece inside the bottle. Any tools that you require can be fabricated. If you were building the piece outside the bottle and then putting it together inside the bottle, you would really only need longer tweezers and some longer tools to maneuver the piece once you got it in the bottle. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

    Hi Kenny , i am so relieved that my ideas would appeal to you, i thought i may offend in some way. I gave my bottles to friends and family in the 90s on the condition that they kept them or returned them. I have the first one i made somewhere, i will dig it out.The largest one was in a very large bells whiskey bottle, i placed a lighthouse at the far end on rocks with water splashing over them, working at that length was very difficult to say the least. Some of the tools i used were almost 2ft long to get leverage for the seabed, i wish i had them now. finding a suitable bottle was a big challenge as you only get one good viewing side, try explaining that to someone ! On the outside of the Bells bottle i painted a sky background with a few tiny distant seagulls, very effective. To check for any distortion in the glass i would hang a piece of newspaper print on a thread inside the bottle and turn for the best area. Could tell me what the internal diameter of the the neck of the bottle please ? the hull looked quite large on screen. I have purchased a couple of old dimple / Haig bottles and will start to put together the items/tools to make another project, hopefully a good winter pastime. Best wishes,Pete.UK

      Anyone who would get offended by anything you said, obviously has issues. We are all here to learn from each other and not matter how much experience a person has, there is always something that can be learned. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your ideas and methods. As for the inner diameter of the bottle, I'm not 100% sure. I thought that I mentioned it at the beginning of this series. If I had to guess, I would say that it was between 7/8" and 1" inner diameter. I hope this helps Pete.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't see why you couldn't do that if you wanted to. The only issue I can see is making the boat symmetrical enough and weighted enough to float without tipping. There might also be an issue of the water soaking into the boat, so you would have to seal it up really well. This is an interesting concept and I might have to try it and see.
