Flipping that final plastic washer over so the flat spot doesn't get used was a fantastic idea that made this process 10x easier, thanks for the awesome tip! I have to assemble ~20 of these boards. I found that using a soft-jawed vise to hold the edge of the metal board helps alleviate the need for an extra hand.
Ok, this confirms what I suspected - the binding posts on these large breadboard kits don't do anything. They should have an internal connection to the power rails, otherwise they don't eliminate any wires. I like your polarity-protection diodes...
Since the binding posts are insulated from the board, and each other, and of the maybe fifty TH-cam videos I have seen on use of breadboards, none of them use binding posts. None of them even HAVE binding posts. And yet, you spent over thirteen minutes, in painful detail explaining how to spin a nut onto a threaded shaft. Boggles the mind.
Sadly, I think he used the binding posts incorrectly. I would have thought that the idea of needing binding posts at all would be to make it easier tp plug in power from a power supply unit using the standard bananas plugs in the posts and then running the smaller wire from the post to the breadboard.

I like the diode idea

Mine came with a p65 warning on the back ( cancer and reproduction harm) .
Can you tell something about it?
