Diemai,
Yeah, it's amazing what kind of articles you can make a spinner or spoon out of. Lately I've been using whatever scraps of metal that I've seen lying around, and kicking myself for all the times that I've seen thick gauge copper wire lying around and not pounced on it!
As far as the blades, I can only tell you that I've seen .040" blades marketed by Hagen and Lakeland and Worth Co.s and that, without having measured, these spoons I used are probably a little bit thicker than that, but not too much. They do spin a little slower, but have a little more thump as well.

You know, I could see that happening, but for whatever reason, it doesn't. The blades actually start spinning pretty easily cuz of all the forward weight. Might have just gotten lucky

PS I saw one of your posts where you had made some spoons out of kitchen spoons... I actually made a couple spinners with blades from kitchen spoons on that inspiration. Worked great!
