Title: braiding?
Post by: pro_crip on August 08, 2010, 11:38:53 AM

I've started wiring up my crack (wow, that dredges up some unpleasant memories) and I got to the part where you have to braid the 3 wires (red, black and white) coming out of the rca jacks. I musta failed 1st grade art because I have no idea how to braid. My first thought was to just use the drill trick from the twisted pair, but that didn't look right. It looks like one strand goes under one, then over the other but them solder fumes got me going a little cock-eyed (good times :)) and I can't figure it out from the pic. A little help would be appreciated. Btw, I check the continuity, with my dvm, between each joint I solder to make sure none of 'em are cold. A coupla seconds now beats minutes of head-banging later trying to find a cold joint. Thanks a bunch.
