Hi
I am putting up a wire suspended shelf which is held in place with steel wires with swagged on balls on both ends.
The problem is I need to shorten the wires and then put some sort of new end onto the wires.
The ends need to hold a fairly large amount of weight (book shelves!) so whatever wire ends will need to be fairly strong. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don't have a swagging tool.
This is what I am installing:

my ideas were:
Solder some sort of brass sleeve on.
find some way to swage a sleeve on.
try melting the end with a welder to create a ball?
The wire is looks like basic multi-stranded steel wire.
