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

[@jh1328]

He absolutely loves that “I’ve been hitting the bottle since” joke.

[@bojcio]

its hilarious

[@hank10111111]

him saying it with a straight face makes it so much better too

[@nateroo1486]

He for sure tells that one to the boys every time a boat comes up in conversation lol

[@CaptainBlack47]

The second I heard that I knew this guy was a real one

[@DRum886]

It's one of those jokes that doesn't get old.

[@PooFIy]

I used to think the entire thing was built inside the bottle with various long tweezers, thanks for the info. 👍

[@SunriseLAW]

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.

[@Mike__B]

Yup, I'm kind of disappointed that they don't build them in the bottle.

[@d3vilman69]

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.

[@grapeeggplant3863]

That sounds like it would be damn near impossible.

[@Mike__B]

@@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.

[@johnbarneswood]

Only $150 per piece sounds insanely underpriced for this quality

[@snakesonn]

are you all there in the head??

[@rockets4kids]

@@snakesonn Pretty sure this guy lives in America, not India.

[@snakesonn]

@@rockets4kids sorry

[@d3vilman69]

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.

[@kopanhagen668]

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.

[@DonVigaDeFierro]

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.

[@OSTemli]

He is real artist not that fake modern crazy people who call themselves artist

[@DiggitySlice]

I think that might be autism

[@comdnoive]

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.

[@angrypotato_fz]

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...

[@willjensen5595]

@@angrypotato_fz yup same here

[@linnen_elm]

[@xuefensun1117]

I thought something similar, like perhaps the glass bottle was built around the ship.

[@Calamitious]

I thought the first one 😅

[@scubastevedan]

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.

[@BricklyDragon]

The collapsible sails are insane. So tiny and intricate. I always thought it was assembled using tweezers but the collapsible sail is so smart.

[@juliánito59]

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.

[@CJordanNicholson]

I would just like to make space to appreciate the production. Both the interview shots and the B-roll looked great.

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.

[@Uglier.]

its amazing and a miracle he still has so much dexterity in his hands performing this meticulous craft

[@AshleyReinhardt]

Nothing is more thrilling than watching people being very passionate about their hobbies

[@Virtio]

My main hobby is pounding super (melting point) hot girlies like you and I'm VERY passionate about it!

[@Virtio]

Well, at least, that's what I strive for.

Lol. KZbin 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!

He is so dedicated to his hobby, it is inspiring.

[@DrummerJacob]

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.

[@vinzanity68]

He is a joy to listen to❤

[@casard5235]

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 was like peeking behind the magician's curtain.. 👌🏼

[@yopappy6599]

My grandpa had ship-in-a-bottle that was made of blown glass. He always had the coolest stuff.

[@artofescapism]

This is really interesting- the level of detail that goes into each one of these bottles is incredible! Thanks for showing us!

[@trainliker100]

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."

[@jamesmyers2087]

Almost a lost art. So beautiful. Such a homage to the history of seafaring.

[@vishwasnagaraju8260]

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.

[@Zerbey]

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.

[@FrailHeart-hj4kr]

Full respect to your dedication to your craft sir.

[@milwaukeebrewers6337]

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!

[@TheLugiaSong]

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.

[@rabarberellum1017]

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.

[@ZUCCCC333]

I would definitely buy one

[@wolfsmaul-ger8318]

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
