this was my first attempt
i ordered the wire from navships on ebay and decided to just try it out with some jacks i got at Fry's. I have a bunch of RCA/mini connectors coming from partsexpress next week, but wanted to practice.
Nice job for a first cable btw. Did you braid that yourself? Also, at least I personally don't like the heatshink, but I know a lot of people round here do like to use it.
The braid needs a little work. Its a little too tightly pulled and it doesnt look like it was done 100% correctly. I understand it was your first cable, but I just wanted to offer some criticism so you can improve on your next!
Yes I am Gil. And thanks colonel. I'm going to practice on just braiding some wire this weekend, so I can get used to it.
I do agree with what he said. Look three posts above yours. Obviously, that is quite a tough braid, but as far as braids go, that is the ideal look. Flat, and loose. Almost more of a weave than a braid. You are on the right track though. That is a better braid than I could have done

as you can see
i need the practice
odoe : i suggest you to use different colours wire. i am using that for my first a few braids. so that i don't mess it up.
somemore, to clam the wire, i suggest you to buy some speaker terminal, and screw them on a big chopping board, then u can hook ur cable and screw it on. and u can braid nicely. =)
