The wiring style may seem a little "Alien" to most of you

I'm glad the guy self-describes his wiring method as "alien."  It sure is, and I advise anyone building their own amp not to emulate it!  Sure it's very neat and pretty but, in some installations, will be a disaster in terms of RF pickup and may increase the likelihood of oscillation.  Leads should be routed as close to the chassis as possible, and every effort should be made to keep them as short as possible.  The method featured results in leads being much longer than they need to be which can also increase RF pickup. But, he said it works fine, so he's fortunate!

Nope, he says the orange is stranded... ;)

 

 

If you look closer at the stranded orange wire, (which appears to be a type of Teflon insulation) you'll notice the bends aren't as tight as the solid core yellow insulated wire.

 

I may just have to find a pair of those jewelry pliers...

Agree with Maynard .... may look pleasing to the eyes but not the method to use for optimum performance.
