Hi fellow Heretics,
I thought id share a tutorial on how to make power cables of any width or size you might require.
Materials & Tools:
Fingers( yours preferably!)
Wire cutters
paperclip
florists wire(I used 24 guage wire in this tutorial)
a cylinder or round tube(pencil or pen will do)
Tutorial:
Firstly after clearing a suitable space and gathering your tools and materials you should have this:

Model is for scale purposes.
Then I start by winding 5 or so coils of the florist wire onto the paperclip like so:

Then I wind the small end of the wire tight, you may have to push the coils together from time to time so they are nice and tight.
Eventually you should have some thing like this:

Then bend it carefully round the pen or round object(my craft knife handle in this case):

And Voila a power cable, any size cable can be made with various sized wire in the middle and the coils can be made thicker with larger guage wire too!
All you have to do is clip the paperclip leaving a millimeter or two at each end, and drill 2 holes in the mini and glue it in.
I hope you like it.
