Has anyone built a true "point-to-point" layout? (i.e. no boards)

My first AB763 deluxe build was built inside an Electrohome Hifi chassis entirely using turret strips and wiring directly to the tube sockets. My friend bought it off me. It's a great sounding quiet amp.

Have built only 5 amps so far , all point to point , just finished #5. I only build little amps , they're all I can make out old junk. You'd be hard pressed to put a turret board in them. Just saw a similar thread at ....

Yep, when I saw you make this I sort of stole the idea.  I love the boards above the tubes and make them with Epoxy Board and eyelets.  They really come in handy when I am restoring an old radio.  Adding a couple gives me enough tie points where I can clean up the rats nest that all have.

How do you hold those boards in place? It looks like there may be a bolt in the middle, but it is hard to see? Its a pretty neat approach.
