Making a Ship in a Bottle Part 3 

As much as I appreciate the kind words James, I don't consider myself to be any kind of great woodworker. Anybody can do what I do. It's all just a matter of loving what you do and being happy with every success AND failure in the shop. It's all part of the learning process and although I have been doing this over 42 years, I still learn something new every time I work in the shop. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave your kind words. It's very much appreciated.

You honestly don't need patience to do something that you honestly love to do. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. It's truly appreciated Mark.

I get a lot of negative comments about the longer videos William but I honestly don't care. It's my style of teaching and I would much rather produce a longer video and give all of the information, than to produce a 10 minute show that only demonstrates about 5% of what should be done and all the rest is in fast forward with no explanations at all. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.

What a coincidence Paul because every time I add something to the ship I think the exact same thing. LOL. I'm glad that you are enjoying the series. It really is a fun build and I hope that folks are going to give it a try. Challenging and fun. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir. I truly appreciate you dedication to the program.

Glad to hear that you were able to get your internet service back in time to see the episode Bruce. I hope that it didn't disappoint. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

I hope that you enjoy the entire series and that you decide to give it a try yourself. Thanks for tuning in to the show Satria and for the kind words.

As long as you take your time Newton, there's no reason that you and your son can't follow along with this tutorial and make your own ship in a bottle. Good for you for getting your son involved and taking the time to teach him something that he has asked about. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in. I would love to see a picture of your ship when you are done.

Glad that you're enjoying the series Louis. I hope you enjoy the last 3 parts of the series as well. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave the kind words.

I'm glad that you like the video. Good luck on your project and thank you for tuning in to the show.

Thanks for the kind words on the project Michael. I'm glad that you are enjoying it. As for the patterns, I've heard several people mention that they use red ink for visibility but to be honest, I have never had an issue seeing the black lines so it has never been a necessity to try red. I may have to try it and see if there is a difference. Sorry that I couldn't help more Michael. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

A single piece hull like I have constructed here in this series is generally placed into the bottle in one piece whereas larger ships (as you pointed out, such as Galleons) are usually made in several pieces that will fit through the neck of the bottle, and then assembled inside the bottle, using dowels as registry points to make everything fit together properly. I am hoping to do a build like that on the show but I will decide that once I see how much interest this series ends up generating. It's a ton of work to produce a series like this. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave a comment.

So I was thinking about this last night after reading your comment and I can honestly say that I have never made a toilet paper roll in the shop. Interesting idea though. So I thought about how I would do it if I had to make one and the first thing I thought of was "what makes toilet paper, look like toilet paper?" Well for starters, there would be the texture. I thought that maybe white flocking could take care of that. And then there is the perforations. Some careful wood burning could take care of that as well. Other than that, I am kind of stumped on this one Mike but I will continue to think about it and if I come up with anything, I will be sure to let you know. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for poking my creative thought processes. Now you've got me thinking of how it could be done.

@@acutabove_woodworkings Flocking is a good idea, I did not think of wood burning. If i'm successful I'll send you a pic.

@@mikethompson7290 I hope you do send one. I'd love to see it. Good luck

I hope it doesn't disappoint Patrick. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Well aren't you special. Thanks for tuning in.

Glad to hear it Bob. Thanks for tuning in to the program.

Great substitution Mehak. You can always just use a centre punch to make a hole and then glue the paper clips into those holes. I hope this helps. I love your ingenuity on this. Good luck on your build and thanks for tuning in to the show.

Thanks for the kind words Barry. Glad that you're liking it. I appreciate you tuning in to the show. Thanks.
