new to fusing need advice

[bluesmaven]

My husband is interested in hot glass, mainly fusing. I get more than enough heat from my soldering iron and haven't been interested in fusing but now he wants to do something and I really know little about it. What book would y'all suggest for fusing? He's also interested in building his own kiln have any of you tried that??

   why does he want to melt perfectly good glass

I don't know, you got me! He's hot stuff!

The two best books I've come across are

#1
Contemporary Warm Glass

A Guide to Fusing, Slumping, and Kiln-forming Techniques

by Brad Walker

#2
Warm glass: a complete guide to kiln-forming techniques : fusing, slumping, casting by Philippa Beveridge, Ignasi Doménech, Eva Pacual, Eva Pascual

Both of those are very good and the #1 you can order online fromthere web site http://www.warmglass.com/CWGSummary.htm

I hope that helps
