Trimming raggedy cable ends
From: 
"Richard Pike" <thegreybaron@charter.net>
      
      
      Spent a few minutes in the garage this afternoon, and this worked so well it needed
      sharing. 
      Had a set of used rudder & elevator cables that we are going to be using in the
      Firefly, they are in good shape except that the ends are pretty ratty. How to
      trim them off without taking a chance on nicking them?
      
      Use a round x-acto knife blade. Used a screwdriver to spread the blade tang so
      it would slip over the cable. Work the tapered edge up against the swedge. Clamp
      the sheet metal vise grips in the vise, used them to hold the cable, and hold
      the blade tight against the swedge. Used the cut-off wheel on the Dremel and
      buzzed off the raggedy wires.
      
      Easier to do than tell about. Did all four wires in about ten minutes.

      There are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who say to God; &quot;Thy
      will be done.&quot;
      And those to whom God says ; &quot;OK then; have it your way.&quot;
