Wire size and tool?

I searched the archives and came up with a recomendation of 316L SST wire at 1/16 inch diameter.
When you put an eye on one end and then insert the wire through the plug, how do you form the eye on the other end? Do you just twist it untill it forms an eye and is snug against the end or what? Is there a special tool I should use? Do you glue the wire in ?
If I sound stupid/uninformed, you are right! I just want to get these things right before I make a big order. I plan on the first 10 plugs I make to be done by hand. If I am successful in creating a good plug I want to go a "lot" deeper into the art.
I think I am in the right place, just please have patience with me !
Thanks guys, Changeling
