Ha why should I know all about dampers, although not much dampens my enthusiasm?
I like your idea and it makes sense to me. I might try it out on a scrap piece first. I'll have to wait till Thursday or the weekend to play around with it. Darn work getting in the way of the hobbies it supports. On another note I broke my metal brake today. The top clamp is held in by some rather dodgy weak welds (princess Autos finest) and well I felt like superman when I realized I pulled them out. Thankfully it's a simple fix using stuff I don't have at the moment.

How many chimney fires have responded to...?
....just pulling your leg .,......but it is the first thing to turn off when you get there.
Brakes do break...... if you exceed the limits of the poor welds.... nothing you can't repair. Cheers

Usually by that point things have progressed well past the chimney. Lol.
Too be fair I had noticed the threaded studs bending from where they were welded. I'll be replacing with grade 8 set screws with some good welding to the heads. I've checked the other side and its bent and pulling out as well.

Can you.......
Replace the stud with a larger size.....or even better eliminate the free play so the stud can not bend but would have to shear......
Or you could stop bending long pieces of 14 gauge metal...... On the chimney fires....do you guys still use the special flares that they lite and threw in the stove.......???? it consumed the oxygen and generated an inert gas that choked off the fire without spraying water all over on hot steel........... Cheers

Talked to my local machinist tonight at a meeting. He's getting me some strong shoulder bolts to use. I'm also going to add another piece of channel to hold the other end of the stud. That should hold everything and then I'll find the next week point.
Never seen that kind of a flare. We have a grenade type thing but never seen it used. It's a pricey piece of one time use only kit.

And last night I had part of the sheet metal brake snap off and go flying across the shop with a bang. Oh well it's something else to fix and make stronger.

Nice little accessory that I managed to find recently. Now onto finding the tin.
