Default Wire Splicing

Can anyone recommend a good book, that has instructions for wire splicing. I would like to make a couple of small pennants, with spliced eyes.
thanks,

Default Wire splicing

I have both of Brions books, Riggers Apprentice and The Complete Riggers Apprentice. I learned to splice wire from them. While I was cruising I didn't like the wait for replacement rigging and made my own standing rigging with stainless wire. Not the speediest boat because of that and other things, but what the heck, if you wanted to go fast, take an airplane.

I suppost that last line will raise the hackels of the racers, but I am a cruiser. I trim the sails every couple of days if they need it or not.
