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
him saying it with a straight face makes it so much better too
He for sure tells that one to the boys every time a boat comes up in conversation lol
The second I heard that I knew this guy was a real one
It's one of those jokes that doesn't get old.
Only $150 per piece sounds insanely underpriced for this quality
are you all there in the head??
@@snakesonn 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.
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 thought the first one 😅
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.
He is real artist not that fake modern crazy people who call themselves artist
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.
My skills are emptying bottles.
Top tier 😂
that is some serious dad energy
😂😂😂
My mannn 😂
We can tell
"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
" You either have patience or you lose it. " I laughed out more than I should. Hahaha
K
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 )
The collapsible sails are insane. So tiny and intricate. I always thought it was assembled using tweezers but the collapsible sail is so smart.
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.
1:09 Man has no shame.
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.

its amazing and a miracle he still has so much dexterity in his hands performing this meticulous craft
Protect this man at all cost
Finally one of my childhood mysteries unlocked…
Nothing is more thrilling than watching people being very passionate about their hobbies
My main hobby is pounding super (melting point) hot girlies like you and I'm VERY passionate about it!
Well, at least, that's what I strive for.
Lol. RUclips consored my other comment (deservedly so). We are entering a new era of internet censorship with the rise of AI technologies. No 'dirty' comment gets past!
1:10 Funny, so did my dad
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
He is a joy to listen to❤
I've always loved ships in a bottle. This is a nice channel and what internet is best. I need to develop this level of patience.
He is so dedicated to his hobby, it is inspiring.
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.
this was like peeking behind the magician's curtain..
👌🏼
💯
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."
2:18 i always go there too and buy bottles just so that i can empty them
My grandpa had ship-in-a-bottle that was made of blown glass.
He always had the coolest stuff.
Very inspiring. I used to make models and dioramas and there is a certain focus plus knowledge gained from researching then recreating the subject. Ah, my mind and fingers are feeling twitchy. Thanks for the vid😊
This is really interesting- the level of detail that goes into each one of these bottles is incredible! Thanks for showing us!
Does he have an online shop? I'd love to buy one from him
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.
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.
Full respect to your dedication to your craft sir.
Beautiful documentary! And an absolutely cool dude!
Beautiful craftsmanship !!!
Almost a lost art. So beautiful. Such a homage to the history of seafaring.
It was beautiful. Thank you.
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.
Thank you. This was fascinating!
I envy the peace he had with finding his enduring passion.
They look fantastic
Absolutely gorgeous. Would love to buy a few
Nice job,greetings from Slovakia
I appreciate how you explain things step by step!
What a great man! I love his approach, his great sense of humor and how passionate he is with his work. I wish him that he really can build more and more of these beautifu bottle ships! I ove people who are loveing the things they are doing and are passionate about what they do! Thanbks for this great vodeo!!
Interesting but how it's made is only superficially touched on.
Beautiful work
You put a big smile on my face, sir 😅Thank you!
Watching this and hearing his voice was very soothing.
This guy has a great sense of humor!
a man that loves his craft and is good at it
I also admire Painting in the bottle art those are brutal hard with lots of skill and patience necessary
I hope Sir Jim Goodwin knows how amazing and admirable he is! Thank you for this video and thank you sir for your passion
Great video. Something I want to get into one day.
Frg
Amazing work
Wonderful ❤
I collect empty bottles…….sounds better than saying I’m an alcoholic 😂
what a fortunate man, he found his passion. i wish i could find mine
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!
this guy is AWESOME!!! Love his work!!
This was fascinating, thank you for sharing!
I could never do this as a hobby but I appreciate the hell out of this mans work.
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.
Underated channel ❤❤❤
Gosto muito dos seus trabalhos ,obrigado pelos seus vídeos tenho aprendido muito 👍🇧🇷
Which tools did you invent to achieve your goal ? Great passion great result.
Last lines dedicate how much he loves his work ❤❤
What is the name of that long scissors tool that he used for placing the ship inside
My hands like to work while crafting my own model ships, but patience is still critical. Once mistakes come in, i have to it walk off until im settled again.
I love the hobby ⛵️
This is awesome!!!
My man is having the life❤
Amazing guy!
Always been curious about how they do it. Love it, fascinating.
It's great to have creativity and great to have a hobby.
I always thought the boat was build and the bottle blown around it 🧐
this is fascinating and beautiful! Great work and great video! This filled my heart with warmth :)
I like the Howard’s pub cup! Great restaurant!😊
I never saw them in my real life but only Suneo flexing in front of nobita and the whole episode of doraemon. I could never think that this thing even existed in reality. So much perfection and passion for engineering! My respect for miniature world 📈📈
Wonderful
This was awesome.
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 great!!
HE SHOULD TRY USING DYED EPOXY RESIN FOR THE WATER. HE COULD USE A SYRINGE TO GET IT IN THE BOTTLE NEATLY
Amazing! I wondered as a child how these were made. I came to the conclusion the bottle was made _around_ the ship hah well I was wrong. I dread to imagine working on this and then for a bit to break inside the bottle. I can see what he means about needing patience.
Talent on another level 💖😊😍
Nice job man!
Thank you for this video
Me at 3 AM: interesting.
What a humble guy
Keep cooking bud, God done gave you TALENT!
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."
It's crazy that somebody thought this up one day randomly and it became a thing. Putting a ship in a bottle is just absurd, but the guy followed through with it lol
It's been around for a few hundred years.
Does he have a online store?
Great , now I want one
"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....
Where can I buy his works?
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!
This guy has a potential side hustle as an ASMR RUclipsr
