I personally do not use a dishing tool. I just flip the wheel over. Been building my own and truing since 1992 with a TS-2. I did mount some dial indicators on them but mostly just use the adjustable guides. I also do minor adjustments right on the bike using the brake pads as a lateral guide.
I also find it hard to understand how you built but did not true. Also bought a Wheelsmith spoke tension meter but mostly just pluck the spokes to determine tension and uniformity.
