Have you seen a ship in a bottle before?

It's exactly what it sounds like.

A tiny model ship beautifully displayed inside a glass bottle.

They're really neat but also kind of mind-boggling

because I don't understand how the ship fits through the small opening of the bottle.

It just doesn't make sense.

I've always wondered how they're actually made.

Well today I'm gonna find out because I'm gonna try to build this vintage DIY kit from the 1980s.

This seems a bit daunting right now,

but you know how they say that you should take inspiration from those who've gone before you?

Well, from what I've seen,

the expert crafters are a lot of old dudes.

I love it.

Look how proud they are.

So my challenge is to see if I have what it takes to be like these creative grandpas.

And it starts with this,

which I bought from eBay and hopefully isn't a scam.

The description says it's brand new,

unused and unopened but definitely seems pretty open to me.

Not off to a great start but hopefully all the pieces are in here.

We got a bottle which is great some instructions

and then a bunch of other parts inside a little baggie so looks like everything is here.

You know how vintage stuff has that distinct old smell?

This all has it.

It's as if it was just stuffed in someone's closet for many years and then posted online for some sucker to buy.

Well, that sucker is me.

And we're about to try to build it.

Let's go.

Oh, wait.

Hold up.

Apparently I need all these other materials first.

I'm not going to show you each one.

You get the idea.

It was a lot of stuff.

All right, now I'm actually ready to begin.

What's first?

Surprisingly, I do know what a hull is

because of a past video where I turned a kid's sandbox into an epic floating boat.

So hull means the bottom of the boat part,

which is this guy right here.

And it came with the cutest little piece of sanding paper to make it nice and smooth.

Even though this tiny vessel won't be floating across a lake,

I'm still determined to make it as cool as possible.

I cut out these tiny hatch covers,

and now I got to glue them on somehow.

Oh, they're so small.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, that's a lot of glue.

Yeah, it's all over my fingers.

Classic.

Okay, easy does it.

Oh, no, dropped it.

Okay, focus.

There we go.

It now makes sense why tweezers were on the list of materials needed,

so I switched to those to save myself from more gluey fingers.

Once all the wood pieces were in place,

I cut this black tubing which is meant to be the cannons,

which makes this boat way cooler now that it's got heavy artillery.

Then I did a few other finishing touches before moving on to the next step.

Dang it.

I think I'm missing some pieces.

Maybe it was a scam after all.

What the heck?

Yeah, I'm supposed to have six tie-down pins,

and I got zero of them.

But I'm just gonna roll with it.

I think I might have something.

Yes.

Staples.

They seem small, and if I bend an individual one, maybe that'll work.

I don't know.

Hopefully.

and bam i got the other five staples jammed in so hopefully that does the trick

i think we're moving on to some painting next i'm really excited for this part i enjoy painting

and i think it's going to transform the chunk of wood into what will actually look like a proper ship.

Let's do a Connor classic,

a good old painting time-lapse.

Music As a kid, I always wondered how these were made.

I assumed that it was one of these two options.

Number one, you cut the bottle in half,

put the ship inside, and then glue it back together.

Or number two, the ship is fully built inside the bottle using tweezers.

But there is in fact a third explanation.

The ship is collapsible, so it fits into the bottle and then is folded up into position.

And of the three options,

this is the correct one.

That's the secret sauce.

It honestly makes way more sense than cutting a glass bottle in half.

It still sounds tricky and sort of impossible to like prop up the sails and I don't know.

But that's how it's done.

That's the secret.

Now you know.

Check it out, it's starting to look like a proper little boat.

Doo doo doo doo.

Yes, I love it.

Okay, I think what's next is we gotta build some sails for it.

Okay, I actually have to build the masts first,

which are the wooden beams holding up the sails.

100

And now it's time to cut the different parts out of the fabric for the sails.

101

I just traced the template that it came with,

102

which made it nice and easy.

103

And now like a weird tiny puzzle,

104

I just glue them all together

105

And Just like that my boat is now a sailboat Bam Check that out.

106

Let's go And it's officially now too big to enter into the boat.

107

So this is where the magic happens.

108

Am I confident that I can pull this off?

109

I don't know yet, but so far, so good.

110

Oh man, I have no idea.

111

Look at that, it's gonna be in there eventually.

112

That'll be so cool.

113

Okay, what's next?

114

No way.

115

you serious it's happening again brass wire brackets should be included

116

and it's definitely not dang it these brackets

117

are arguably like the most important piece because it's the whole hinge mechanism

118

that goes through the mass and then it'll raise it and lower it so it can go into the bottle.

119

Like without them, it's just a ship and a bottle.

120

You can't combine them.

121

Okay, I gotta come up with a solution here.

122

Is the answer to my problem right on the table in plain sight?

123

these staples have already kind of worked once before so maybe they'll work again it's worth a try

124

okay let's test it please work okay so that's it in the standing position and then it should hinge

125

yes oh yeah I think that'll work

126

and then once it's in the bottle you pull it back into place I mean it's janky

127

but hopefully it works let's go staples for the win and

128

so each sale got its very own janky staple as the makeshift bracket.

129

It's definitely not ideal but I'm just working with what I got at this point

130

and what I got is a big box of staples.

131

Guess what material was missing and not actually included.

132

I'm not even surprised at this point,

133

just disappointed, but I think I know what the solution could be.

134

Grandma's sewing kit to the rescue!

135

Ta-da-da!

136

I mean I'm sure she's got some thread in here somewhere.

137

Oh yeah!

138

Look at that!

139

Thanks Grandma for your contribution here.

140

I'm thinking this will work just great for the rigging,

141

especially with such easy to follow instructions.

142

Oh, it's making my head hurt.

143

This is a complex process.

144

For such a small little project,

145

there is a lot that goes into it.

146

It's pretty crazy.

147

Let me read you a little section here and tell me what you think.

148

So, cut a new length of thread

149

and tie a knot around the mizzen mast under the intersection of the latin spar and mizzen mast.

150

lead the thread to and around the main mast just above the upper yard arm,

151

then to and around the foremast above the upper yard arm,

152

then down to and through the hole in the tip of the bowsprit.

153

What language is this in?

154

Honestly, these maritime boat terms are confusing.

155

I'm just going to reference the photo,

156

I think, and just make it up.

157

And that's what I did for the next two hours.

158

I really struggled with it, honestly.

159

I felt like my fingers were way too fat

160

and big to be tying these super small knots and yeah it was just overall really difficult.

161

But thankfully I finally got it all finished and I was proud to be moving on.

162

Nooo!

163

Oh my goodness.

164

It's just, it just all fell apart.

165

This project has been so tedious and time consuming.

166

In case you can't tell,

167

it's dark out, which means I've been working on this all day and I was nearing the end

168

and now it's just a tangled mess.

169

I had no choice but to undo all of my hard work.

170

I guess I just don't have what it takes.

171

I'm sorry, I tried my best,

172

but unfortunately I think this one, I just gotta quit.

173

Psych, there's no giving up here.

174

I got up early the next morning,

175

made a coffee, and now it's time to redo it.

176

I think I'm gonna use a lot more glue this time.

177

Oh yeah, that's a good one.

178

And so, like a bad case of deja vu,

179

I started again the intricate rigging process.

180

It definitely would have been easier to just quit,

181

but there was one thing that encouraged me.

182

This article I read about a specific creative grandpa named Len,

183

and he said, The best bit in the painstaking creation of a ship in the bottle is the moment

184

when it finally comes to life.

185

It feels magical.

186

Len looks like an absolute legend,

187

so thank you for the inspiration Len.

188

That final magical moment when everything comes together,

189

that's what's keeping me going here.

190

I know it's going to come soon.

191

I think I successfully did it this time.

192

It's not a falling apart, tangled mess.

193

Check it out.

194

I also added some tiny red flags to the sails,

195

and I really love the overall look of it.

196

And now it's finally time for it to go inside the bottle.

197

Whew, I am so nervous right now.

198

All right, here we go.

199

The ship has entered the bottle.

200

Oh my goodness.

201

Okay, now what?

202

I gotta glue it into place.

203

Put some resin on the bottom.

204

Okay, okay, focus.

205

I need tweezers.

206

I'm sweating.

207

Center it.

208

UV resin.

209

Hopefully this seals it.

210

Sticks it into place.

211

Yes.

212

Okay, it's in place I think think.

213

I would like to say that the rest of the project was just easy-peasy but...

214

Unfortunately this is where the chaos started.

215

The staples came out.

216

Those darn staples

217

that saved the day had now come loose causing me to have to somehow maneuver the sails back in a position.

218

Working with these tweezers in such a confined space was so tricky.

219

Typically this process is done a lot more gracefully by pulling on a thread attached to the sails

220

that boom hoists them up but again because of my lack of proper brackets I was forced to do it this way.

221

The struggle bus kept on rolling for another 30 minutes,

222

but finally, with one final movement, I did it.

223

That was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

224

What the heck?

225

But it's in there.

226

We got a ship in a bottle.

227

Oh my goodness.

228

My heartbeat is still just through the roof.

229

I feel like I'm coming down from an adrenaline rush.

230

I was a surgeon.

231

Oh my goodness.

232

There is only one final step left.

233

I'm just gonna power through it and do it and then I'll show you the final reveal.

234

Here it is, my first ever ship in a bottle.

235

Built from a 1980s DIY kit with not all the parts included.

236

It's definitely not perfect.

237

This was one of the harder challenges I've done so mad respect to Len and all the other pros out there.

238

So I don't think this hobby is for me but I did it and I'm proud that I can just...

239

No!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
