Thank you for this tutorial, much appreciated! I do not leave comments very much but, in this case, it's the least I could do ;) It was a bit precarious for me the first few tries, but I finally got the net onto the helmet! Would never have been able to do this without your guidance, and thanks again for it! BTW - Whoa! Look at all those lids back there! I'm envious ;)

The picture at .03 seconds looks like the pile of m1 helmets at Smith and Edward's I used to pick WWII helmets out of. Robin Bartel has an original MP fixed bail helmet that I found in there along with several others and an original m2 helmet. I was buying them for 50 cents a pot or $50 per pallet load!!!

The larger picture. People living today will never understand how much having a job and a salary meant to these people. They lived through the great depression. Depression kids never left any food, they cleaned their plate into old age. The same movement over and over, 8-10 hours a day 5-6 days a week. No whining, no trouble making, no phone calls, no gabbing. Food was rationed, scarce. Fighting at the grocery stores for scraps of meat. If you were lucky, the factory had a cafeteria where you could get a decent meal. No tires, no cars, no refrigerators, very little gas. Overcrowded trains, busses, street cars. The boss got on the squawkbox and announced the factory had met it's production goal. Now, a new production goal, make even more in the same time. In Europe, it was worse. Bombs came through the factory roof. Finally, victory, then the economy crashed as government contracts stopped and people got laid off and the economy took time to transition to peace. Could you live through it?

There people just like us today. Stop exaggerating that era. They are no different maybe a bit tougher but no different. And everyone has their own personality that’s what makes it look different but in reality it’s not. There just normal Americans doing their job living their lives and helping the country. The only thing i think was different about back then is that people trusted their country and not their own bs conspiracy. Just movies exaggerated everything.

Josh, i just bought a helmet and liner and i noticed that it had on the nape strap Jmurray and Son Company. Its nice but the liner has a crack on the front. Im going to try and repair, and repaint the liner. Thanks for the helmet paint and coarking texture. I just got it in last week. I will start my painting on my helmets when the weather breaks next week. Here in N.C its °30 degrees one day and °73 degrees the next.. Anyone reading this, if you're in tbe market for an original M1 army helmet or a mock up of an M1, needing parts for the M1 or want to restore your M1 yourself like myself, I highly recommend Josh, @ Jmurray for any M1 Helmet need. Josh is a good Christian man who is a man of his word. He helped me when I didn't get answers from other businesses id will not mention. Josh took the time to email me back fast and had no problem answering any questions I had.I highly recommend Jmurray and Sons for all your M1 helmet needs

I'm ready for another video, Jmurray... I would like to see how you psint your helmets. I just bought some paint from you, and I was wondering if you mixed your coarking in with the paint when you paint your helmets, or do you sprinkle it on by hand or a shaker? You do excellent work. I would be a nosey employee digging through each M1 and taking it all in. I don't know what happened a couple months back but every time I hold one of my six M1 helmets, I feel something unexplainable and I have decided to start collecting War memorabilia but the M1 helmet is my favorite. Thanks, and God bless you and your family, J

When I left civil war and was looking around for the new thing. So, I found WW2 and getting into it I found all the steel pots had all kinds of dents. And I started trying to do something about it. I found a way to get the dents out and was covered up in guy's steel pots. I had to stop. Now I tell guy's to get a good one from you and sell the old one on the bay. I had a front seam fixed bail I wore for 15 years. Guy's would try to buy it every event. I finely traded for a carbine just to get them to shout up. I'll stop by if your at "Conny" this year.

If you have an interest in how WWII reenacting came about, get a copy of the founder of the WWIIHRS' book, A BRIDGE TO TIME, A Re-enactor's Journey from Amazon. Or, get a signed copy from the author at WWII Days; Midway Village; Rockford, IL. I enjoyed your moving story very much. I began Civil War reenacting because there were no WWII events, my real interest. This was my moment of Zen that I recount in the book: A few years ago while at WWII Weekend at Jefferson Barracks, the World's oldest continuing WWII event. I was offering signed copies and a man came up to me and thanked me once he became aware that I was the guy that started WWII re-enacting. (I was twenty-five at the time.) He had brought his ninety-year-old father to the event. His father, a WWII vet, was using a walker and could barely move about, but when his father saw all those OD canvas tents and military vehicles his dad became alive and animated. This was the very best thank you that I ever received. Before the HRS began I would often hear that you cannot do WWII because those vets were still alive. I did not buy into that. Why do we have to wait until they are gone to honor them, I asked?

Oooh. This “bar tacker” is it an adapter I can get for my sewing machine? I do have an industrial Singer at home. Or is this a specialized whole machine?
@capcamouflagepatterni61629 ай бұрын
A bar tacker is it's own machine. However if your sewing machine has the ability to do a zig zag stitch you can do practically the same by adjusting the travel very short. It's not quite as fast and there's potential for it to be somewhat weaker although if you have an industrial machine that's probably not a concern. But in either case for this application it should do the trick.

@nekokyun7 ай бұрын
@@jimmymarsh2489 Well, I'm sure every state and group is different. But I went online and just googled re enactment groups in my state. Vietnam re enacting is still pretty niche in my state (though some airsoft groups exist but that's NOT the same.) WWII groups are MUCH easier to find. Once you find one usually they will have a social media page, like Facebook, that you can follow and speak to them through. Just show your interest to them and be very patient. After some messages and emails they can instruct you on your first steps into the hobby!!! Some groups donate items to new comers to use until they can afford their own. I really hope this helped!!! I'm also new to the hobby so... take what I say with a salt mine.

I got pre bar tacked straps, had to remove the loops with pliers then slip on the chinstrap and reinstall the loop to the helmet. This was a swivel bale helmet. For fixed bales you’ll need a spot welder if you try doing the same.
