Safely Removing a Postwar M-1 Helmet Chin Strap
I learned that a window glazing tool is much safer and more effective than a flat edge screwdriver or knife blade.

WWII M-1 Helmet Chin Strap Installation
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Yuup. WWII M-1 helmet chinstraps were sewn on. The stitch is called a "barred tack," or bartack for short, performed on a Singer 269 bartack machine. Are you getting the idea?! That's a lot of bartacking. Oops, I said it again. 😝

One day, a few years ago, I was chatting with my neighbor, Andy, in my driveway and he began telling me about his service in Vietnam. His story was so compelling, I knew we needed to help him tell it. After several more conversations, he agreed the timing was right for him to share. We have partnered with Thousand Lumens Productions to tell his story. In this video, he reads the letter he wrote...

A sneak peak into something special we've been working on for you. Stay tuned for the full story behind J. Murray Inc. 1944.
God bless you sir. The world needs more men like you.
Nice guy. He knows his stuff.
I bought one and it never showed up
Hello
What an amazing and wonderful family you are …. God Bless
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 ;)
good video. can you do a type II parachutist chin strap?
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!!!
Lise the music
Nice vid. Very clear explanation / demo. Thanks!
What a YUGE help! Thanks for your expertise!
Hello. I am Miran Lavrenčič from Slovenia. I am interesting in buying your american M1 Helmets from Vietnam area and helmets from 80s. I am collector of helmets. Hpw can i buy it? Do you have some address, website? I know some people in America who can buy it and they can send me to Slovenia. I would be glad for any kind of help or suggestion. Thanks.
Love this video thank you for the information
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?
Thank you, just got a 60s m1 with no chinstrap this will help me thanks.
I got into the helmet scene about the same time as Josh and over the years I’ve had a few helmets from him, both original and repro. He’s one of the nicest people in the helmet community.
What an amazing woman and the helmets were a blessing. Amazing story. I wanted to get an 80,s M1 my favorite the Mitchell covers are nice to.
Like the 80's M1
Awesome I actually love the 80's M1 it's the best model and I love the M81 camo
this was very helpful
Nice video…80’s helmet missing two things, dealing with pin on rank and name on the helmet band!
I do I want one
I just caught this terrible disease.. its horrible.. My wife has had a terrible time helping me control my disease to the collecting M1 army helmets. I am addicted to them because each one tells its own story or has its own story
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
You see black and white workers in the same space.
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.
I will only buy refurbished helmets from you for the rest of my time reenacting. You make a great business and I am proud to support.🪖
I have 2 and I want more. One is mix and match parts but the other is all WW2 parts. It’s one of my favourite most prized possessions that I own.
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?
Terrapin! Morning Dew!❤️😎 And really bitchin’ helmets!
I love it. Estimated prophet!
What an absolutely moving story.
Ok, what's the easiest way to do the leather chin strap!? Lol
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?
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.
Would you sell a 101 airborne 506 helmet
Thanks to WW11 wisdom! Omg! This gave me goosebumps! Adversity be damned! Unbelievable! American pride shining!
I got into re-enacting through doing the Vietnam conflict, but now I am looking to get into WWII. videos like this help SO MUCH
What is the first step to trying to get into reenactment? That's something I've wanted to do for some time now, and my son would like it to
@@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.
Great love how you’re uploading again!
Looks like it’ll work on the metal keeper on Pistol Belts also. Thanks!
I hope to be buying some original headliners for my M1 helmets. Ive got 2 and I watch a lot of your videos and I just started collecting. My mother thinks im going to mess up the value by replacing them. She just hasn't watched your work
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.
I just buy more helmets for all my Vietnam/Grenada versions 🤠
Now how does this work with the type II Parachutist chinstraps?
That does not look like my grandpa
Man I have to many Ww2 helmets i need to get myself a nam one.
if i send you my chin strap or purchase a new chin strap i can have it barred tacked?
