My less than perfect eyes can't quite make this detail out in your otherwise excellent photos.
Thanks

Hi Pat! First may I suggest you get yourself a good Optivisor,they really are a necessity for this work.Even if you have good eyesight this work can be very tiring for the eyes.
Yes ,I know what you mean about crimping aircraft cable but in miniature work it is a little different.What I do is use the plastic coating from telephone wire ,paint it silver and slip it over the cable and around the eyebolt and tighten it up by pulling it through this plastic sleeve.The bend in the wire naturally keeps it tight.
I probably will be taking some new pics today and I will try to take a close-up of this for you.
Cheers! John.
