As I mentioned within the article, YMMV on the practicality of this; still, it seems to me a better use of the technique(s) than just braiding hair, and any of the listed methods is more practical than individually sleeved cores
I think I've done alright photo-wise considering the old camera (apart from that server group harness, which I took under a pendant light at night; although I adjusted the gamma to make it look less-bad, and may re-shoot that item in its current form later), hope that's satisfactory for these "side" articles.
I ought to also have illustrations of how to extract the contacts, but maybe when I feel better…
