Broken Rusty Helmet SSh-36 Restoration 

Some people may disagree ,but I'm glad you welded that fracture. Absolutely great job thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for doing this. These items all have a story to tell and should be preserved.

I'm glad you restored this helmet, people might think this is ruining it but the helmet was pretty badly damaged so i can understand why he restored it.

Great job.I recently started to restore some of my rusted helmet.restoring badly rusted/pitted or broken helmets is how you keep history alive is what I believe and I restored it out of respect.keep up the good work

I had just thought to myself "man he's gonna need to add some glazing putty or its going to look awful." While you were spraying primer, and then you cut to after you added the putty 🤣

Even now I'm smelling the solder flux burning when watching this, though I haven't solder in years, but used to for some ten years, 40 years ago.

Wonderful to see an SSH-36 Brought back to its former glory

Beautiful work

Aw man! I once had an old Russian helmet just like that, metal parts in perfect condition, and I threw it away. Me fool! How could I?! It was part of our common history, Russians and Finns.

Superb work! I like the helmet restorations because they tell the story on how the soldiers protection became more important as wars got more brutal and people were getting scarcer!

You started with basically nothing! It looks great! I wish we could have seen the welding and fabricating of the top piece. Instead of all of the sanding.

This is the greatest work you do. I really admire your videos.

I love your work. Would enjoy more of a battle worn look, but beautiful nonetheless. Great work!

This helmet showed that something really bad happened to the man that wore it. I pray nothing bad happened and that he lived that ordeal. I haven't even watched your restoration of this 75-year-old Soviet forces helmet. My heart sunk when I saw it and just had to comment. Now to watch the rest of the restoration.

Отличная ханкенголка получилась, как новая. Супер!

There is a smiley face on the top of the helmet before the restoration.

I've done a few of those and found best results by using my oxycetylene welding tips and rejoing metal together with a nice bead. Then fill low spots with JB weld. But you did a great job considering the condition...

GREAT JOB with the restoration! :) This guy really RESTORED it :)...unfortunately, many would have just wire-brushed it a little, sprayed some clear coat on it, and called it "restored"...I'm so tired of this "patina" movement..I think it's just an excuse for laziness, not wanting to put forth the effort or expense to properly restore something...and the "fake patina" thing is just over the top...I find it especially revolting on old cars and trucks...

Nice job quick thing though, if you know certain holes or cracks are made due to battledamage (bullethole, shrapnel damage) please dont repair those those kinds of holes really have history in them

Just found your channel. This was a topnotch restoration. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. My personal opinion is that the sticker was too "toy like" but I understood what you were going for. I go both ways in the choice of restoring something like this or simply cleaning it to leave the history to it. The helmet was so badly damaged I think the full restoration was the way to go. Great job and I have subscribed

Thank you, comrade. We appreciate your work. Big, proletarian like. 👍

Finally a good WW2 helmet that can stand against German Stalhelem (in looks ofcourse)

So what is it ground damage or impact. The owner looks to be dead

This welding was a masterpiece. Afterall youhave restored the helmet not just showed its history.great job

This helmet would have disintegrated away in a few more years. You've rescued it from being lost forever.

THIS HELMET LOOKED BETTER THAN THE NEWER ONES. THEY LOOKED LIKE A POT. THIS ONE HAS CLASS, AND LOOKS PROFESSIONAL

For those complaining about "ruining history"... this is restoration, not conservation.. learn the difference

I think the total repair of the helmet was the right move. Without information to the contrary, the damage could have occurred do to many reasons. Nice work enjoyed this video.

Вообще отлично! Но, может стоило звезду задуть трафаретом? Декаль долго продержится?

Отличная работа ! Самое интересное -сварка. Жаль не увидели процесс как стягивали большой разрыв.

Отличное восстановление лужением - минимум шпаклевки.

Nice man, you got me into helmet restoration so thank you man. 🙂

The transformation is stunning. Really great job!

Outstanding work on a rare helmet

Instead of the harsh & dangerous chemicals you used to remove the rust(which it didn't do) Next time try using molasses. 10% molasses in any size container & the rest of the container fill with water. Now let it sit for 2 weeks. It'll come out of the water completely black. Use a toothbrush to remove the surface stain. What you are left with is complete steel without any rust.....Don't believe me?? Try it out on a rusty object first....YOU'LL BE AMAZED.

А процесс шпатлевки не показал . Хотя выравнивал раковины и каверны именно ей а не оловом.

sand blasting is the best way to remove those rust, like it's even more satisfying!

Nice job but correcting the bullet hole and the devastating damage that kill shot did to the helmet, kind of destroys the obvious history of the helmet. Even the compressed bullet on the opposite side perforation, displayed the reality of what happened to the guy who was wearing it. To me the history is much more interesting than what now looks like it came N.O.S. from a military surplus warehouse.

loved it right up to the hammer and sickle ..

Wow you could be Char Aznable with that helmet.

You saved my day with that video, thanks mate!

Amazing Sr!! one of the best restorations in youtube so far! thanks for showing us your art and skills

I know there was a company a good 10 years ago where you could get this done for you, and they used welds meant to mimic the metals used on the different helmet types. What are you using here?

You are the best RU-vidr 👌👍👍👌

Really well done. And history is worth remembering.

Whoever had been wearing that helmet at the time got blown to bits.... Beautiful restoration!!!!

beautiful restoration

Вопрос: трещины заварены, а сквозную коррозию пайкой замазали? Не лучше было заварить? Всё равно сваркой пользовались. И может поверхности гальваникой восстановить можно?

What was first spray white colour,before green spray paint? Tell please, thank you

Long live for Great Patriotic War of Soviet Union !!!

it’s a wonderful job

Excelente restauração. Saudações do Brasil.

Pretty nice restoration working with tools on hand . The only thing I can say is I hope you have a respirator on when you sand the solder , because you are getting lots of lead dust in the air . You may want to consider block sanding it wet .

Very nice restoration

Nice job with the finish work and paint.

I can't believe you covered the bullet hole 😡. With that being said the work you did was great!

im getting a ssh helmet from my local antique store soon..

Beautifully done! Great finish. Marvelous.

I am glad you repaired the fractures. This helmet may have gone through heck, but sometimes restoration to new is just as important. You could show a picture of it before repair right beside it!

Keep up to great work on the videos

Wow nice work that looks badass

So nice, but inside belt is missing

Saved another piece of history!

Call me cynical, but jumping from priming to an almost finished helmet? 'Here's one I made earlier.'

Unbelievable restoration😱

Excelente y espectacular Este amigo es un artista Lo felicito

Наклеїв декаль-вся робота коту під хвіст! Там трафарет був...

Turned out great!

Зачётная касочка получилась...

Was that a bullet hole at the top of the helmet? Was that the reason the helmet was shattered?

There are several methods which could have been employed to restore this helmet. I have two points to make; first, the techniques that were used, resulted in a helmet which is essentially ALL metal. Secondly, that is one damn nice finish, so nice, that had I not viewed this video, I would have cried "reproduction helmet, it' cannot be genuine", even though it most certainly is, and saw a very vicious part of our world's history. I wish only the best for you, and enjoy your reenactments. Stay well, remain healthy and most importantly, vital.

Отличный результат. Шлем, как новый.

Интересно,на каком участке фронта её нашли?Отличная работа👍🏻!Но red star вместо декали,нужно было по трафарету делать.

After putting on the transfer and allowing it to dry, I would have put a matt clear coat over the top to protect the paintwork and the transfer.

I wanted to especially see the welding process. Why didn't you show it?

Great job and looks awesome!

At 3:42 is that soldering or welding?

Я такую нашёл однажды. Была целая, даже местами с краской. Правда без подшлемника.

Nice work man:)

Excelente restauração, porém o adesivo foi péssimo.

tough project,real nice ,thanks.

Очень не плохо!..😊

Very interested in Russian items and WWII,, but you did not restore it, you only made a museum piece,, where is the interior and the liner,, and the straps,,, would have been nicer to see a complete restoration, for "military's" sake,, but good work,, Is the star and sickle the original design?? I dont recall seeing that emblem on a helmet before,,, Good Work,, Stay Safe,,, E

Where did you get the decal from because I'm going to do a similar restoration with same helmet.

I love this type of content, I'm planning to restore a stahelm soon, anyone have any tips?

Skipped right over the welding but we have to watch all the boring grinding? :(

What about inside attachments

Amazing work!

which army this helmet is about???

Very nice work!

good

One question where are you From ?

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

Why not show the putty application. Looking at what tools you used, I don't think this is the same helmet. How the hell did you get the inside so smooth with only your angle grinder? Not the same helmet I think.

Sweet video! You earned a sub

Nice work!

Looks great but why not show the welding???

Instead of solder, why not rub the entire helmet down with some bondo (not so much to make it heavy, but would fill in a lot easier) and file it down?

De que epoca es caso del soldado. Que lo esta arreglando y pintando y de que año es. Se ve muy bien pintado y arreglado y de donde es el caso del soldado vi el video y me. gusto saludos buen dia. Soy. De monterrey n.l.mexico y de que ciudad es. Y donde lo encontro. O lo compro o es una reliquia es una es pregunta que hago le quedo muy bien el casco del soldado

SSH-36 [es-sha-36] helmet also known as "Halhin Gol helmet" because soviet soldiers were equipped by this helmet during Soviet-Japanese war at Halhin Gol in may-september 1939
