I have the ribbon cable on hand to give this a shot... I was thinking about using my non-reversing dremel to twist it up
Unless your dremel goes a lot slower than mine I think you would have a mess.... Quick question... the step where you twist the 3 prepared ribbons together, if I twist from the bottom?... i.e. flip the 3 prepared ribbons would that do it (reverse things) or am I just all wet
No that won't work, you need to twist in the reverse direction, but it can be hand twisted together as it doesn't take nearly as many twists to interlock them.... I also need to identify a 6.5 oz weight... not 6 oz nor 7oz... lol jk.

Just... need... the... time.... to do it...
