Need advice for running 3-way switches

[Printer Mike]

Almost finished with a storage room, but I can't figure out the simplest way to wire up the lighting.

Made this drawing because a picture is worth many words.

Any help appreciated.

Run a 12 or 14-2 to the first switch, 12/14-3 between the switches, and 12/14-2 from the second switch to the first light. Then 12/14-2 from that light to the next and so on.

Thanks, Aceman! Seems so simple, now.

Here's a crude drawing - to save some wire. Blue line = white, (white on white doesn't show up well). The yellow wire is actually white, remarked with black, as is the blue wire it connects to (mark both ends). All wire is 2 wire w/ground except between the switches, which is 3 wire w/ground. Grounds not shown; tie them all together in the various boxes.

Here are some diagrams I used to science out how I plan to do it:

Thanks for all the input and your time to reply.

Because I'm doing this project in stages, I decided to just use a little extra wire and make the power run directly to switch#1.

A friend is goung to help me hang the suspended ceiling/lights on Saturday, so I'm thinking hooking up power to the lighting will be easier that way.

oops... make that power to switch #2(less wire)
