Re: Traditional ways of tying cables together.
Chris, if you PM me your address, I'll send you some lengths of the various cords already mentioned in an envelope. Try them out, and see what suits your needs. The armed forces, the BBC, AVO, GPO, Marconi, & so on all had at times different knotting methods. Best bet is to find a kind Forum guy near you who can instruct you "hands on". It not really something that can be learnt by watching online videos, or reading the memories of us old hands via this Forum. Lacing a straight loom is easy enough, but bends & lateral spurs can be difficult.
Regards, David
PS. Belay that first pipe, Chris, I already have your address.
