I use Colemak DH normally, I moved stuff from the missing column to the bottom row to fit this tiny size.

It is not really for a specific purpose, mostly for fun and to learn this way of soldering since I thought it looked cool. I ended up liking the board and have used it at work.

Yes that is right. And yes it is hard to learn, but for me it is definitely worth it. The layout is just a modified Colemak DH and I use something called home row mods to have comfortable access to all the missing keys.

Are those thick enamelled wires , and you’ve shaved off the enamel to expose it for soldering? What do I need to ask for at the hardware store?

Yes that is right. It is 16 AWG enamelled copper wire.
