Another DIY design on the same VH Audio page has the shield connected at the AC plug end. There is no hard rule as to which end a drain wire or braided shield is connected, however most shielded designs (including shielded interconnect cables) feature the connection at the source end only, which in the case of a power cord is the AC plug. That said, some power cords do sound better when the shield is connected at the IEC connector end. You might consider experimenting with the drain wire connected at either end, or at both ends for that matter. That said, if you wish to be certain, you should ask the seller if the Supra LoRad Mk II drain wire is intended to be connected to the AC plug or the IEC connector.
