Ideas For Cabling Wires (supplied by Ben)
Ben sent in this idea to share:
I have used several inexpensive techniques for keeping wiring together. The wires still need to be easily accessed if you need to add or remove a wire. This photo shows some of the methods I have used. I only add a plastic cable tie when I’m finished wiring the cable. If you are using metal screw eyes it is worth opening the neck slightly so you can remove, add, or simply move a wire.

Because modifications,repairs and additions are inevitable, I recommend releasable cable ties (there are various kinds), or double-sided hook loop tape (Velcro). Even twist ties on the screw eyes.
