when he was a teenager my uncle built a boat in his basement, which is sorta like building a ship in a bottle, cause it would not fit out through the door, and he had to take it apart to get it out of the basement.
I built a boat several years ago, but I assembled it in my garage, thinking of uncle David the whole time :c)
Building a ship in a bottle is one of those things you do because it is time consuming and difficult. I made a chess board once using a big magnifying glass to burn the dark squares into a panel of wood.
So I guess in that aspect, we all build 'ships in bottles' in the spirit of the idea, but not literally.
