This is probably too basic level a question to ask, but how to braid two strands of cable together?
I am looking to create a four conductor cable (1R, 1L, 2C) ending in one stereo 3.5mm plug and two 2.5mm mono plugs on the other hand. While it is all fine and dandy for the four conductor sector in terms of braiding the cables and having them stay in place, I am having trouble braiding the two conductor end of the cable and not having it unravel.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Indeed, the aim is to bend the wires into two intertwined helixes such that being wrapped arou d one another is their natural state.

Woops, forgot to mention what plug size I want to use, it's 1/8" (3.5mm).
I did find a plug I could use. I had ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PCS-3-5mm-1-8-STEREO-JACK-PLUG-AUDIO-CABLE-SOLDER-AV-VIDEO-CONNECTOR-ADAPTER-/170753029577?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c1ac75c9 a while ago, and if you remove the spring it fits almost perfectly.
Strip the jacket and shielding, then braid away!
