This was long overdue - I finally got around to making a half-decent wiring rig. I’d been using cardboard from pizza boxes (yes really), which worked, but it was pretty ordinary to say the least.
Once the parts were laid out and the enclosure marked up, I drilled the pilot holes in the chassis, then cut and drilled a sheet of lightweight galvanised iron to match. It turned out to be far easier than I expected, and I honestly can’t believe I waited so long to do something like this.
This one in particualr is for a Foxx Tone Machine, but as a generic layout for a 3 knob circuit in a 1590XX this will be fine.
I quite often do most of my wiring in the enclosure, this makes things a little easier. I'll have to make a few more, for different types of enclosures.

thats really handy
I see there's also a few 3D printable options out there these days - if you have access to that kind of thing.
Great!
I use plexiglass because drilling it leaves less burrs. Since I like to have my wiring all neatly tied up, I am more and more using these templates to being able to move freely.
By the way, great website!
I still haven't sorted out a drilling template - I'm still using a set square and marker, with a hand-held drill. Maybe that can be my next workshop project. Drill press and templates.
