He tested it on his grade school sons by having them each build a wheel set with no additional help.
If you follow the directions it will take you a while but you'll end up with wheels that stay true until crashed and don't break spokes in the first few hundred thousand miles.
I read that book, but ended up following Sheldon's website for directions on how to build my wheel instead. Wasn't too hard (though I just did that and haven't mounted/ridden on the wheel yet).
