:-) Thanks, Jos - I've had the Dremel suggested, but the heat shrink -
that's a new one and a very good suggestion! :-)

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Oh, this is an easy one... Diamond cutting wheel in the Dremel, no  
pressure applied and just let it sink through. This keeps the strands in  
place.
I used this paper paint edge tape, or nothing, because taking it off might  
disturbe the strands. Put a bit of heatshrink on first , and after the  
swaging use this to make nice, finger sparing ends.

Regards

Jos Okhuijsen
