Yep.  If you look at some of the pictures, you can see that the wires pass 
completely through the female DB25 crimp connector.  This allows you to 
route and tie all the wires properly before you crimp the pins on them.  I 
cut one wire at a time flush with the top of the connector, pulled it out 
the back, stripped, crimped and installed in the new DB25 connector.

To make the jig, just take a female DB25 crimp connector and using a drill 
bit that is as close to the large hole in the back as possible, drill 
through using a drill press.  This will allow up to 22GA wire to pass 
through the connector.
