Hello again Barry, I'd say that's inventive!
There used to be a style of construction called 'breadboard' which beginners started with, and could involve nails and bits of wire and literally, a bread-board! I started like this in my early teens before I owned a soldering iron.
Your parallel wires idea is similar in some ways.
It's worth a try, although it has drawbacks. One is that it will be tricky to solder an integrated circuit into all that. The other one is to do with the stability of a radio frequency circuit laid out like that.
But it looks like you are on the exciting first steps of a path...
So there is nothing to lose by trying and seeing what happens! It's much preferable to you walking away from it! Keep us posted, there's plenty of support here!
