A good tutorial from this site will get you going:

Gosh Nate, I thought I was the only one that did that. I use the example at the bottom of the page for audio patchbay cabling using the flat waxed lacing.

WildStang used velcro for many years but migrated to a better solution. We use perforated aluminum sheet now and ty-wrap everything to the perf stock. That way you only need one tool, wire cutters, to replace components. Perf stock also makes tieing wires in place much easier as well as pneumatic hose, valves and manifolds.
