I've only fused a couple of times and quickly hammered and textured the seam because it was so bad! lol...<br /> I use a brick from the wall of our woodstove to fire on. I have no idea about using a regular brick but wonder if you could find a place that supplies woodstoves or kilns and get a brick from them?<br />Happy creating:)Shay Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630620584703400416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068961476522299574.post-79205249217542378002009-08-24T22:12:20.966+01:002009-08-24T22:12:20.966+01:00Thank you all for your comments, advice and sugges...Thank you all for your comments, advice and suggestions.<br /><br />PJS - Thanks, that's sound advice. I will try not to expect perfection first time but I do hate wasting expensive materials. Also I'm not very good at just getting in there and having a go. I tend to ponder and hesitate much too long before getting stuck in.<br /><br />Eve - Thanks for sharing your experience of this book. I'm glad I've bought the book but know that it will take me some time to master fusing.<br /><br />Beverly - Ha ha! Yes I am talking about an outside building. Actually I believe our out house (my husband's domain full of tools and DIY stuff) did originally have a loo in it when our house was built 60 years ago. Thankfully some previous owner built one inside the house.<br /><br />Kathleen - Thanks, I will definitely share my fusing experiences in my blog (when I feel brave enough to have that first go!). I think you're right about trying to source a proper fire brick as the book talks about digging grooves in the brick to support parts of the jewellery as you fuse.<br /><br />Kristin :)K S Jewellery Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429956525981139120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068961476522299574.post-85135223874555274572009-08-24T19:49:30.453+01:002009-08-24T19:49:30.453+01:00Cool book Kristin.

I did get a fire brick here in the states for my soldering with a torch. I'm not sure a smooth brick would have the correct characteristics for your needs. Best to get what the author recommends.<br /><br />Anxious to see what you create doing all of this!

I think the pur...Glad your vacation was wonderful!<br /><br />I think the purpose of the brick is for an insulator and the outhouse brick would work - but I'd remove it from the outhouse first!! (my guess is that 'outhouse' in British is 'out building' in American. 'Outhouse' here means outdoor loo! hee hee).Beverly Ash Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604623165508918570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068961476522299574.post-22512770495216495262009-08-23T13:46:43.591+01:002009-08-23T13:46:43.591+01:00I have this book also, it's okay, sometimes it...I have this book also, it's okay, sometimes it work and sometimes it does'nt.Eve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387028948274731118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068961476522299574.post-80522899270891948352009-08-23T13:27:40.271+01:002009-08-23T13:27:40.271+01:00Hi Kristin,
I have the Silver Wire Fusing book. ...Hi Kristin,<br /><br />I have the Silver Wire Fusing book. It it absolutely great and it will give you confidence to fuse wire. My advice is don't get too frustrated if everything does not turn out perfectly the first time. There is an art to understand the flame temperature and how it will fuse. I had a couple of melt downs the first time.Preserve Jewelry Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046848024811618101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068961476522299574.post-16199134284764222412009-08-23T12:22:07.849+01:002009-08-23T12:22:07.849+01:00Hi Sarah
