This is exactly what I started doing, right up to the wooden faceplates with photo transfer labeling.

Very cool, but the video explanation is way over my head.
I wouldn’t let the description put you off. If you’re interested in this stuff I would recommend watching a heap of videos around modular and analogue synths without trying to grasp all the concepts and after a while some of the terminology will start to settle.

Thanks, but the problem is I’m too old and I seriously think my brain is starting to fail. I was a math major so at one point I might have been able to do this.
All good. Not sure what is too old, 56 here and just starting to get back into this stuff. All I can say is give it a shot!
