Finally do the tensioning and truing - Sheldon Brown's site has some good instructions.
I'd love to build my own wheels, but buying the tools and the parts would be more than paying someone to do it and I really doubt I'd use the tools enough to justify the purchase. (truth is I couldn't justify it to the wife.)
