I made my first wheel yesterday. It was really good fun and not as daunting as I had expected.
I did it all without any kind of truing stand either, using match sticks taped to the dropouts of my bike. I still need to get to a stand to get the dishing perfect but I'd recommend having a stab at it yourself or as cedywedy was planning, watch someone do it.
