Re: An extra tip and tricks....

Dont do the platting on your own.
I found that a mate moving the tail-ends in sync as you do the platting at the business end, prevents the tangled mess you will inevetlably end up with; that actually takes way longer to sort out than it does the platting.
You should with a wee bit of practice end up doing almost a yard in about 2mins with 3strand platt (aka tnt style with the outer sheaving removed).
We were knocking out a bare 20ft cable of 24 ends in about 15mins.
A 4 way platt didnt take that much longer once we again got the synconization sorted out :¬0
you're just end up with aching fingers for a few days.

A tinny aids construction. 2+ tinnys slows construction by the square law of consumption.
