Wozza,
Looking great!
As I said earlier today, I have to screw up everything at least once to learn it. I can't say with complete honesty that I learned wheel building to a trustable level, but I can offer a small warning for your work, in advance. When I tried to do my wheels with QD hubs, my tendency was to do too much adjustment by tightening and not enough by balancing loosening with tightening. Before I knew it I had splayed out the crinkles to a noticeable extent. After disassembly, I managed to set the crinkles back in position, but the appearance of the just-chromed hub was not too good after that. A new hub only cost about $20 (in 2005), but I had to pay for chrome a second time.
