In run 336, Daniel Kaine shows how to make yard lights starting with rail end caps. What are "rail end caps"?

From clues in the article's pictures, Daniel Kleine is referring to cable rail end caps. You've probably seen horizontal railings with cables stretched between the posts. That's cable rail. The end caps cover the ends of the cable bolt threads and nuts.

Here's a link to the caps> Feeny Cable Rail End Caps

Thanks. That makes sense. Not sure I want to do that but it helps to know what I'd need. And apologies to Mr. Kleine for misspelling his name. I read the article upstairs and posted downstairs. Memory, it's a terrible thing to, uh, uh ......
