    This brought back some memories. As a kid, I used to be fascinated by these and wanted my parents to buy me a ship in a bottle whenever I saw one. Always wondered how they were made, but I was still too young at the time to have internet access and nobody around me knew either, so I eventually forgot growing up. Glad this video finally solved that childhood mystery of mine. It really is a beautiful craft.

      I also have childhood memories and still have one tiny Vikings long ship which I managed to place into a small bottle (with a very big mouth opening- haha!)

      years and years ago their was a plastic model company that produced a line of "ships in a bottle" ... you would build the ship and then place it inside a clear plastic bottle and then glue the bottom on ... I had several of these on display when I was a child during the late 60's

    I took a class Jim Goodwin put on at Roy Underhill’s Woodwright School many years ago. Each student made their own ship in bottle. I got to learn all the masters secrets. Fascinating class and remarkable teacher.

    There they are, almost done, and you pull out the tools that you had to make yourself, I started doing this around 8 years old, I still have unfinished ships in baggies waiting for me to find the right bottle to put them in, the look in people's eyes when you give it to them, all the fun is making them and stuffing them in, great video

      Let's hope his apprentices excel at this craft as well. 😀
