Looks like my drive side F# is sharp

Non-drive E flat is also sharp

You got me thinking, so back to the Park stand!
NDS F# ish. While the other side E flat is a little sharp. As bad as a bass player I’ll confess to, I’m worst at plucking spokes.

In general they are fine. As a Clydesdale I am not holding much hope for the cross pattern or spoke count. But much of my beliefs are old school, as the book I referenced. There are better materials now that allows for radial spokes in a rear wheel.

As @ Zandoval; mentioned, you can start getting the tools, I got my stand for $75 from a Sport’s Authorty going out of business sale.
