Hey,

can anyone share step by step instructions on how to do the ends/ferrules for hard-wire bracing?

Thanks

There are some websites and videos that provide exactly that: step-by-step methodology for making those beautiful wrapped and folded wire ferrules and ends. There was a young builder in this group who is exceptionally talented at making those but I've forgotten his name.

Wish I could remember the young fellow's name, but in any case you can go to the search box in the upper RH corner of this forum page and enter 'ferrule' or 'tail brace wire' or some such thing and you should be able to find a useful link or two.
