And bonus........ use a small screw-in hook under the baseboard to hook up a tie at each application.

legless, you might have done the same thing by interweaving the black cable tie. Nice idea, Those things can be expensive in NZ.

Excellent idea, as it is much cheaper than purchasing actual cable routing raceway

(Slotted Wall Wiring Duct for example, like this: https://www.digikey.com/...0189/277-5412-ND/2525017 ).

What some do is rather than raceway is they use the flexible binding combs as slotted ducts/raceway.

But then the wires are all inside the one comb and hard to clearly see.


Your approach makes following a wire much easier.

I wonder if there was an "ugliest train table underside" contest how bad it would be. :)

I think that's a great idea, but boy that would be a hard one to judge since I've seen some very bad ones Scared
