    Help, my July 2008 mag was thrown out, Chain mail guitar pick questions

    The hubby threw out my copy and I wanted to do this piece.  Does anyone know what size of the Dunlop guitar pick in stainless?  They make several sizes.  Also, what size jump rings did he use?  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  I tried to find the pattern online and didn't want to have to buy another copy just for this piece if I can help it.

     

    Thank you,
    Lisa

     Hello,

    How frustrating to try to recreate that from scratch!  It is a cool project though, isn't it? :)

    The article states that he used a Dunlop stainless steel pick, standard size, and thin. So my guess would be to go with the standard size, 0.20 thickness. If it's any help, the Fender was a #351. So if the Dunlop matches that, you're good to go.

    As for the jump rings, you'll need:

    • 66 brass 20-gauge (0.8mm) 3mm inside diameter
    • 11 brass 18-gauge (1.0mm) 4mm inside diameter
    • 11 anodized-aluminum 18-gauge (1.0mm) 4mm inside diameter

    Best of luck!
