I see you responded to my wheelbuilding thread of long ago. I photo-documented my build and here is the link:

I built my own truing stand. That was fun and gave the process more organic-ness. The exploration and self-teaching of the build was just as fun as the build itself.
The wheels are still going strong and just as beautiful now as the first day I used them. I true them on occasion and nothing has been out of whack. I put in a few tweaks and I'm set. I like the choice of my build. I find a big difference on how the wheels respond compared to my old ones.
