You’re not done with the math quite yet, though. Now you have to
figure out how much wire to leave at the ends, so you can attach the
turnbuckles and tie the wire off. Subtract the new length that you
arrived at in step 9 (for me, 64 inches) from the length you cut the
wire (84 inches).
(length of entire cable) – 64 inches (result above) = 16 inches Divide that result by two. I ended up with a final length of 8 inches. 11. Thread your turnbuckles in from the ends of the wire exactly the measurement you just came up with-- 8 inches, in my case. At 8 inches, carefully bend the short length of wire around the wire where it meets the turnbuckle. Wrap it tightly around the wire, until you’ve wrapped the short part entirely around [photo 4]. You may need to use pliers if your wire is hard to bend. If it seems like you have too much wire leftover, feel free to snip it a bit shorter [photo 5].
almost there ... this way please
