Each doubling of wire area makes an equivalent of a wire three gauges larger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

For example, one pair of 24 gauge wires are equivalent to a 21 gauge wire. You'll need 16 strands of 24 gauge wire to approximate a 12 gauge conductor if that is your target.

Check out forum sponsor cat cables.

It's a nightmare. I once did one with.. I dunno... it was the equivalent of 12GA wire or so. It took me two months. It sounds the same as zipcord. YMMV.
