Wheelbuilding question

Hello Folks...

I'm in the process of building my 3rd wheel. The first 2 came out OK but I had my LBS check them out before I used them. My question is, how do you know when you've tightened the spokes enough? I'm actually concerned that I may be tightening too much.

Unfortunately, I disassembled the first 2 wheels for the hubs. Other wheels I have around here are machine built with alot of miles and feel really loose to me. Any suggestions or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks..
