We recently purchased knitting ring looms at Goodwill and needed hooks to go with them. I decided to use coaxial cable because we had lots of it from Grandma's house when she was moving. First, I cut the end off with side cutters. Then I stripped the outermost layer of plastic. Then I pulled off the shielding fiber which made a big mess because it was made of tiny short pieces of braided wire. Then I removed the plastic from the inner wire. Finally I bent the end with needlenose pliers. Then I repeated the process to make several more. I even left the connector on some of them because it was easier and looked more finished.
