    Thank you Ed, Judy, Dr. Rourke, for your helpful suggestions. So far
    I have never used tubing of any kind, so Ed the idea of getting some
    copper tubing at the hardware store is appealing! I could use it to
    construct a hinge... plating the bits of silver solder (so far they
    are hidden inside) is also a great idea, as well as tumble
    polishing, which I should have thought of. Judy, the little "V" to
    bite into the cord sounded good so I tried it. It seems to work, but
    to make it smoother I'll need some practice. 

    Here are 3 pictures of the ends I have made. The ones on the blue
    cord I used your idea, Judy, of the little "V." You can see the glue
    in the others and they are obviously the work of a beginner, - - or
    an avant-garde artiste!
