Me too.

Err, yes.... Fortunately for D series connectors (and those nice EDAC516 things) there are back shells that come apart and which can therefore be fitted round the cable afterwards.
I have also learnt to tie a loose knot in the cable before sliding the connector shell on. Otherwise it will generally fall off the other end of the cable and roll/bounce into some dark corner of the workshop.
As an aside, if you have a cat never try to make a cable that's about the same length as the height of your workbench. If you do, when wiring one end, the other end will jiggle about near the floor and will become an instant cat toy....
