A great video and I'm now motivated to try and build my own wheels. 🙏
I haven't built a wheel for many years. (Of course, I had to count... 60 years [sigh]). Now I've got to get back into it. At least tune all the wheels I've got. I don't need instruction, but you are on spot with this video; I did need that push of motivation. Going to buy that truing stand that has been on my wish list since 2021.

Roger Musson’s ebook is fantastic. I found his style of presentation and the information to be very useful. Of all the sources of information I’ve read on wheel building, including the others you mention, I found Roger’s book to be the most practical. I’ve built seven sets if wheels since purchasing his book in 2021.
