Ah, that brings back memories...those days gone by when I used to make 
thick-net cables.  :)

No, thank you...I don't want to go back and you can't make me do it.  :)

Realistically, it's not that hard, but you want to get the right tools if 
you're going to do it more than once.  Years ago, I got down to 30 minutes 
per thick-net cable, with the good crimping tool designed for those pins.

Any reasonable electric supply store will be able to help you, and show you 
how to make the crimps.
