A quick poll to see if you guys/gals make up your own cabling and do your own wiring. Like do you make your own DMX cables up and terminators. If you don't know how to would you do them if you did.
Do you make up your own power looms, like from dimmers with Bulgin connectors?
Please post in this thread about what stuff you make yourself, what your not sure how to make yourself.

I am obstaining from the question, I make lots of cables, but I don't make my own DMX.. Only power and speakons.
Been in the business a LONG time, learned from day 1.

I was thinking of putting something together like a photo walk-through on how to make up various leads including but not limited to Bulgin (for older controllers), DMX leads including 3 pin to 5 pin converters and Hot/Cold swap leads. Thought this might save people some cash as they're massively overpriced, it works out about 30% cheaper to make your own.
