After wiring the circuit board and heaters, I gained a lot of momentum. I wired all the potentiometers, jacks, and connected all the jumpers from the circuit board to the tube sockets. I used a lot more solder than I had anticipated, but everything went together without too much hassle.
These are just some shots of the rat's nest I have created:
Here you can see the mess I've assembled. I tried to keep things as tidy as possible, and even so things look a little out of control.
A photo of the potentiometers. Notice how the solder tabs all angle inwards. I did it this way to keep wire runs as short as possible, and to make it easier to get a soldering iron in and make the connections.

A bit overwhelming, no?
Here is the AC power cord and power transformer area. Using wire ties keeps things neat. Notice the extra supports on each side of the transformer.
