Clean the cable well. Solder won’t stick to dirt or oil. Drill a hole in the side of the block of wood for the cable — 5/64. Drill a hole down to intersect with the cable hole. Deep enough that the cable will be in the center of the barrel. Put some flux on the cable end. Heat it. Insert it in the cable side hole. Melt some solder and fill the top — barrel hole with solder . The wood may smoke and burn a bit. Not enough to worry. Let it cool. Cut the wood away with the saw. Shape the barrel to your liking with the file. That my friends is how it is done where there is no bicycle shop and no five dollars.
