Wirewrapping on the cheap - pin headers.
stockvu:
Let me chime in for those who read this topic later.
I've used traditional wire-wrap and had the same problems with cost and availability as the OP. I like what the OP shows in his pictures. That's a slick way to build resilient circuits! :)
In my situation, I tried wire-wrapping thru-hole headers inserted into solderless breadboards. For me, this was a good way to get somewhere for reasonable time and cost. Then I discovered you could make plug-able cables using headers and wire-wrap too! 8)
This meant not using jumpers (aka push wires) which eliminated intermittents and rats nest issues!
I wrote a website about this wiring technique (search for permanent solderless if you're interested).
However, I found there are strict rules one must abide by to sidestep problems using the above tactic.
FWIW
