Swaging wires

On the photo you can see me thightening the bolts of the swaying tool to crimp down the sleeves on the wire loop. I did this way all 3 halyards that raise the sails. The process is very simple really. I cut the excess wire using a grinder with cut-off wheel after I crimped it, this way I am assured that it will be flush. To assure the I don't cut the wrong wire I put a piece of steel sheet between wires.

There is another type of swage tool that looks like a big bolt cutter, but the one I have works perfectly
and tales very little space.
