^^ theres a YouTube video I like in three parts. It's a guy with big safety googles. I'll try and dig it out

I tend to do the leading spokes on each side first. Also remember to keep everything as loose as possible, so NO tension. Until everything is in place you literally only want the spokes and nips just screwed in - ie one or two turns.

Also +1 to taking your time.

EDIT: this set here -

Yeah, I've been watching that series of videos. They were very helpful :) I've been keeping the nipples as loose as I can. To be fair, I'm not really sure why I re-started. The other video I was watching seemed a bit clearer and had some handy (obvious) tips, like using a spare spoke to poke the nipple through without losing it (as it's a deep B43 rim). Obvious stuff, but not when you're trying to figure out what the hell you're doing!

Definitely starting again tonight. I've got the hang of the lacing pattern I think, so should be easy enough... (famous last words...) Will stick on some background music and crack on with it.
