I cut my teeth as a teenager on an electronics assembly line by wiring up cable harnesses for marine operations, and the first 50 I made (out of about 1,000) were all rejected because I couldn't get the lacing right.
Spent a week learning to do it properly, and can still do it in my sleep. Its a very easy skill you'll never forget once you get it done (and approved on the production line..)
IMHO, the wax string in my toolbox is among the most important of devices, since it keeps things very neat and tidy.
To the point I find myself now as a grey-beard, teaching the kids how to do it.
