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.”

I'm
That was funny I remember hearing a story of a tiler ,he'd tiled an entire house but when he finished the owner said you've made a mistake, one tile in the corner is wrong. The man looked at him and said only God is perfect
He absolutely loves that “I’ve been hitting the bottle since” joke.
its hilarious
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
😂😂😂
My mannn 😂
We can tell
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
@@angrypotato_fz_same_
I thought something similar, like perhaps the glass bottle was built around the ship.
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.
"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
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.
" 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.
you have patience or you become one
( as in, become institutionalized )
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.

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
Damn I hate to think of all the bottles I’ve emptied. I must be a sad sad man.
@@roberttorres6859 might’ve been or it must be some other reason
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❤
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.
Thank you. This was fascinating!
Such an art form. So glad to hear him speak and watch him work. He seems to be in such a peaceful state working on his hobby.
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."
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.
Beautiful documentary! And an absolutely cool dude!
It was beautiful. Thank you.
this guy is AWESOME!!! Love his work!!
He is so dedicated to his hobby, it is inspiring.
Underated channel ❤❤❤
I envy the peace he had with finding his enduring passion.
This was fascinating, thank you for sharing!
My grandpa had ship-in-a-bottle that was made of blown glass.
He always had the coolest stuff.
Thank you for this video
Always been curious about how they do it. Love it, fascinating.
They look fantastic
what a fortunate man, he found his passion. i wish i could find mine
Full respect to your dedication to your craft sir.
This is really interesting- the level of detail that goes into each one of these bottles is incredible! Thanks for showing us!
I could never do this as a hobby but I appreciate the hell out of this mans work.
Nice job,greetings from Slovakia
What a cool hobby! I would never do it but its really cool to see someone do something at a high level of detail like that.
Me at 3 AM: interesting.
a man that loves his craft and is good at it
Absolutely gorgeous. Would love to buy a few
Last lines dedicate how much he loves his work ❤❤
I hope Sir Jim Goodwin knows how amazing and admirable he is! Thank you for this video and thank you sir for your passion
This was awesome.
This was great!!
Amazing guy!
Nice job man!
this is fascinating and beautiful! Great work and great video! This filled my heart with warmth :)
This is awesome!!!
Look at his workshop. Insane.
My man is having the life❤
That’s amazing!
What a humble guy
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.
Heard of ships in bottles since childhood, and always felt it seemed fascinating. This is my first RUclips 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.
Super cool!
Congrats!
Patience, indeed.
The way he cracks a joke without losing it is insidiously funny.
Great job great clip. What a gentleman. I have one gifted to me. Thankfully 🙏🙏🌷
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!
Talent on another level 💖😊😍
Wonderful
Amazing.
thanks for the cool SoL manga idea!!
Rad!!!! That guy is a legend
That's sick !
What a lovely man.
This is nice
Dedication! 🖤
Godbless the craftsmen
loved it
"I'm looking at the glass, not the booze." Some pretty nifty quotes in this video.
Great Video Jim.....Mark Walker
Just love this❤
amazing
Her very cool work very inspiring
Very Cool !!! 👍
Pure artist 🎨 ❤
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.
Oh, yeah.. I would SO lose it! My ship in a bottle would end up looking like a pile of matchsticks in a bottle. Kudos to those with the artistry and patience to pull this off!
Reminds me of childhood.
Keep cooking bud, God done gave you TALENT!
As a kid in late 70s i had an line drawing illustrated book about Robinson Crusoe showing him making a ship in a bottle step by step. I wish i could remember the title or author.
i always thought people would assemble the pieces using long tweezers inside the bottle but this is honestly way cooler and doesn't sound as infuriating
Interesting but how it's made is only superficially touched on.
My wife after seeing the heap of empty bottles behind the garage: "Where do all these empty bottles come from?"
Me: "I haven't got a clue - I've never bought empty bottles."
Which tools did you invent to achieve your goal ? Great passion great result.
1:09 Only part of the video I can relate to
He should stream his builds... Cmon!!!!
Blow their minds , try a klein bottle 😊, excellent work
Could attach the mast base to a tight wound spring then it would bend over to fit in the spring back without needing pull strings
Love your work mate❤️
True craftsmen are a dying breed these days unfortunately.
nice
"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....
Wow!
It would be interesting to see HMS Victory in the bottle😮
Good watch
