I love wire. Wire is one of the Modular Electronics.
Tips/Techniques
Buy in Bulk
You will save a lot of money.
Look for Local Surplus of Wire
I found 2000 feet of 22 gauge wire for $15 2024 prices from a local electronics recycler. Wire is one of those things that the wire factories can't stop breeding producing, so there is always a lot around.
Wire Wrap
Not a lot of modern use of wire wrap, but the small gauge wire and the cutters are useful. Pretty much if you build a board with wire wrap, murphy will disconnect/cause oxidation on three wires and you'll never figure out why the board doesn't work.

Compare speed wire to wire wrap. The former is a lot more reasonable, but you will still need an enclosure otherwise wires will get knocked off over time.
