Yes, nice.

When you said overkill, I had visions of 48-hole Halo Combats or something.

Normally I would have, but I had someone build these this time around.

How many did you build before you started doing it right? (even tension, etc...) I'm hesitant for some reason.

Took me a couple of goes.

It's capable for people to build them, it's just that some people don't function in a ways that would allow them to be decent at wheel building. The trick is to take your time and be patient with it.

This time around I just did not have the time to build them.
