Fifty Shades of Wire Binding


We finished running wire this morning,



And began lacing the wires together using special wax cord.





Jim headed home at the end of the day, and since it was no-brain repetitive work I kept slogging on. 



Gradually the mess of wires shaped into order. 






Jim's going to kill me, but the knob I found for the panel dimmer just doesn't look right, it sticks out further than and the barrel is out of proportion to the switches. I'll keep looking for a better one, maybe try turning my own on a lathe.







*How was copper wire invented? Two pilots fighting over a penny. How did England come up with the half-pence? Two British Airways pilots fighting over a pence.
