Camp one end of the 2 wires in a vise...Chuck the other 2 ends in a small
power drill, such as a Dremel, pull the wires taut, and turn the chuck BY
HAND...If the drill chuck is too big to grip the wires, wrap several
layers of masking tape around them to build them up...A pin vise would be
great if you have one...

I use aircraft safety wire pliers.  It makes it ridiculously easy.
These pliers are specifically designed to twist 2 wires together at an
easily controllable rate of twist.
Aircraft Spruce sells them.  The economy version is $21. P/N 12-18900
