they have braided, and woven.. I dont know if either one is "hollow" or not.. hopefully at least 1 is.
is either of those types commonly known as being hollow?
 
as far as waxed cotton.. its a little stiffer, .. its literally waxed, so you can kind of imagine what that is like.. probably not good for wiring.. at least i wouldnt think so.

Simple IC. Canare L-4E5C and generic connectors. Nothing fancy here. 
 
Also, if someone could post a close up of their soldering joints, that would be very helpful. Thank you.

My cables have gold plugs instead!  Muahaha!
 
 

 
 
And are too short and stiff for any practical use!

Haha, they look exactly the same. Did you get those off of Ebay?

Ratshack I believe.

It's just the generic el cheapo 3.5mm connector you can get anywhere in the world online or from your local stores. Personally I wouldn't go cheaper than the Neutrik REAN 3.5mm less than £/$1, or if you can step it upto Switchcraft's 3.5mm, or many premium connectors.

I used a lot of el cheapo ones back when i was learning to solder, once I got one right, it was a 1.5 inches coiled interconnect, and it came up pretty cool. I used it with my zune and the clip+ to the amp, sadly those el cheapo plugs arent the right size, and the clip+ now was a loose fit onto regular plugs, zune is OK, I guess is tougher. 
 
so, beware of the el cheapo plugs. the radioshack ones are fine.

regarding the btoucan cotton cord- here is their answer.. dang!
 
We do not have a cotton will a filler. That does exit with some polyester
cords. We do have a 1.2mm unwaxed poly cord that you can easily pull the
filler out of. Black and brown.

FullCompass and Markertek carry Neutrik dummy plugs, but then shipping charges.  =\
 
These are 10 for slightly over a dollar shipped, w00t!  No good for PCB-mount Neutrik jacks, though.
 
Something a little different for whoever may have need for it.  (pic)

I used one of those neutrik covers when I added my D-mount USB jack to my SSMH. It works very well and has a nice (though cheap, because the plastic is thin) snap when it closes.

Not really a re-cable but I sleeved my AKG K81DJ headphones.

Also received half of the wire from the 50m spool of piccolino wire that i managed to get hold, cost me nearly quarter of my life savings but i will get some amazing cables out of them for the rest of my life.
This is the double twisted Piccolino which has 2 strands of the normal piccolino twisted together then covered with a clear sleeving so all in all its actually 100m, picture just shows 25m of the double alongside some cables i made with my previous lot, the other half should be here friday.
 

Wow. If you're not careful you'll turn into the next patrik82

Same as me, when I got the JVC HA-S650 I did that too, significantly increasing strength, lifetime and reducing susceptibility to tangling.
I only had UV green sleeving, so it's unique...
