Hehe, I like that. I really like the Gert Schraner method in his book. Makes the spoking easy to keep track of, even if you have to put down the wheel for a little while to let your eyes re-focus.

The best tip I can offer, as someone who has now built about 10 wheels is to be sure to get all of the nipples threaded on to the same place before you start tensioning. If you don't, the radial truing will be next to impossible. If you can find one, the nipple drivers that have the little pin in the middle will automatically pop out at the same place on every spoke. Otherwise, try to have the same number of threads showing on every spoke.

Also a good truing stand will make a big difference. I like the Park TS-2.
