The circuit board is pretty much complete, the pots, the on/off/on switch, and the input jack are prepped and now I'm prepping the Power Transformer at this point. I've read the book and re-read the book to help me understand all of the steps.
Another great thing to look at prior to doing this step is to watch Gabby of "sound garage tales" wire a power transformer. Here is a link to his videos - make sure you watch all 4 of them:

I've twisted some of the wires together so they will stay sort of neat looking as they run to their connection point.
I placed the wires to be twisted together into a drill and slowly twisted the pair together. This makes a nice even twist.
You need to be careful because you do not want to over twist them - they could actually break.
The next step will be to mount the PT into the chassis and measure and cut the wires to length. Perahaps I'll do that tomorrow night or thursday.
