Just as an fyi, I believe the cables you have from me are 20ga 2cond+shield cables. So if you like the silver-clad, teflon cable sound, you might want to look at making cables from 24ga or 26ga wire, as they will be much more flexible for you.
And now for the huge aside on cables:
When it comes down to it, everything is a tradeoff. Smaller cables are more convenient, but you run the risk that given the rough field conditions our cables are subject to, smaller cables which encase thinner wires will not hold up as well over time. 4-wire for 2-conductor construction (star-quad) has better noise handling properties, but also has more capacitance between the wires in the cable compared to a two-wire construction, and that capacitance has a negative impact on sound. Thinner gauge wires also have less capacitance compared to larger wires, but have more resistance per foot (which is bad) and as above, have the potential to not last as long over rough and tumble field conditions.
The first generation of cables I made, about 1400' worth of cables, used a 4-cond 24ga starquad construction, yielding an effective overall per conductor path awg of about 21ga. But after re-assessing my beliefs on the need for better noise handling in typical ts.com PA recordings vs the potential impact of higher capacitance (esp since the majority of the cables I was selling were for interconnects handling line level signals, not mic cables), I decided for optimal sound it would be better to get away from the starquad construction and go to a simple 2-wire construction.
From that point on, for my second generation cables, I always used 20ga cable stock. From my view, the 20ga cable allowed for a pretty compact cable and also had larger gauge wire, which should be more robust and have a longer usable lifetime than thinner guage cables. From my standpoint, 20ga 2-cond cables seemed to be a pretty good balance point in terms of size, noise handling, sound, robustness, etc. However, if flexibility is a concern, moving to smaller guage cables will increase the overall cable flexibility.
