[quote=gahamby]Compared to 7x19 wire rope 1x19 is really stiff. What the other posters said just about covers it.
When I made new standing rigging for my SC15 I borrowed Felco wire rope cutters and an actual Nicopress crimper from the opera company I was working for. The real tools make all the difference. I made a "U" shaped jig that I could push the wire rope and thimble into. I too went with two sleeves per end.[/quote]
