Folks... round two of Honk vs his computer for the wheel build,
I have determined the spoke lengths and I am going to lace in the first set of drive side spokes. I want to have a cosmetically "correct" looking wheel so I will build with the hub logo just above the rim logo when looking down from the top. To do this I start with one spoke and put it in the hub from outside to in. I do this because I want the drive side pulling spokes to work from the area closest to the centerline of the finished wheel. In this case the spoke is in the fifth hole from the top hole when the hub logo is centered above the rim logo. The spoke goes to the second spoke hole on the right side of valve opening in the rim. This is the first part of the step. The process is to then put 8 more spokes into the hub from the outside of the flange toward the inside of the hub in every second spoke hole on the flange. The spokes should be placed into the rim radially in every fourth spoke hole on the rim. This is the end of the first step in my build process.

note the placement of logos on top of each other

added eight other drive side spokes. I will post extra pics in a later addition
