Wheel Lacing Frustration

Sorry if this has already been covered. I looked, but couldn't be sure I was seeing what I needed. I am putting a 1964 Huffy Sportsman back on the road. The original Sturmey Archer AW was rusted solid so I got rid of it, got new spokes of the same length and a spare 1963 Sturmey Archer AW. For whatever reason I can NOT lace this wheel right. I'm getting better, but still I end up with 10 spokes too long; every 4th one. I used the 4 Cross method thinking that was right. What could I be doing wrong? I'm ready to go just find 10 shorter spokes and call it done!!!
