Also, beware that the RJ45 connectors have two types depending on the wire.
One of for stranded with a single pierce and the other is for solid with a
fork type. If you use a single pierce on a solid wire it usually breaks the
wire and it will likely be intermittent. This also applies to RJ11 (4 pin)
and RJ12 (6 pin).
I know this from experience with lots of intermittent network and RS485
connection troubleshooting.

Hi Mick,
I also think it's a great skill to put in your toolkit but it does depend
on your eye sight.
If you do decide to fabricate your own, I recommend pass-through ethernet
connectors. This really helps to verify color codes, and makes it much,
much easier.
