Make your own choke or throttle cables?

I’d imagine this can be used in similar fashion to build a custom cable for a Horse.  Pretty cool!

If you have a cable break at the nipple, and don’t have a new one to replace it with, or a new nipple to repair the old one, drill a hole in a piece of wood the diameter you require. Then cut a slot using a hacksaw, etc, to the hole. Trim the cable and ‘Splay’ the end for grip. Dip the end in some soldering flux, then  fit the cable into the slot, with the splayed end in the hole. Melt an old tire balance weight, and pour into the hole. Trim the new nipple to fit. This is how we used to repair, or make new cables for our motorbikes, more years ago than I like to remember!
