Yes, that describes our plan pretty well. We do have a little jig to help with the tensioning (Manley/Honey Farming describes the idea quite well).
One thing we don't use (and you don't mention) is the silly little wire crimping device that all the traders seem to sell as a necessary part of the frame wiring tool kit. Another beekeeping toy.
I use needle pliers to tighten the wire on the sides. Works a treat..
