Book Review


I've just treated myself to Liz Jones' book 'Silver Wire Fusing'. The techniques in this book are centred upon solderless joins achieved by using pure silver wire rather than Sterling silver. Pure silver melts at a lower temperature and doesn't attract firestain in the way Sterling does. The book's written in a chatty style and the photos are excellent. The only supplier of pure silver wire I can find is Wires.co.uk who sell various gauges either by the reel or in 1 metre lengths. The only thing that the book misses is putting the equivalent millimetre width of wire. Best place to buy this book is on Amazon - lots of sellers and I bought it new for less than £9 sterling.
