I'd be much more worried about insurance. If you install yourself, and you have a fire, I'm sure insurance would not cover you. In Canada you could install, but get a reputable installer to certify the install. Then you are good to go here. They also up your insurance here for each wood burner...

I think this thread should in the end show a way a person can totally assemble a functional 3m like respirator, at affordable prices. Complete with where to acquire each piece needed. I like where this is going also.

I fix my own cars. But I'm the guy that thinks , will I just changed the tie rod saved almost 1000.00$ , spent 65.00 in parts. My labour is free. I now have $935.00 to spend on tool#, as I did it at my friends house and grumble at home how much the garage ripped me off $1000 for new tie rod...

Sorry to drag this old thread up but can you drill dowels in a 45 degree joint , like a picture frame connection with a Jesse setup? If you can do you have to have an extra piece or part to add to jig?

You don't pay a dime in bc. Employers pay everything. Changed years ago. And I just ordered a. 3m system.

Yes think of wood as a bundle of straws with the end grain the end of the straw. Very difficult for water to enter the side of a straw. Very easy to enter the end of the straw. So if you seal end grain immediately you have essentially stopped the majority of water or moisture entering the wood.

We do this all the time when timber framing. I've cut joints then went for lunch came back and damn thing moved! It happens fast. But these days there is no 8x8 Timbers that are so called dry. That would take 10 years.
