I've started doing my own, did a bit of research, made a stand, got a magnetic dial gauge and some good nipple wrench's and away I go. lacing wheels for my mate who builds customs and it's going well.

I worked for a while wheelbuilding for Alf Hagon, until I got the hang of it.

Rebuilding an existing wheel is easy enough, but faced with a rim (undrilled) and a hub it gets trickier....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
