Sweet, that's really helpful. I will get everything measured up once I have the bits in my hand.

Could you not measure / copy a pattern off an existing wheel?

Whenever I've seen wheel builders they've always got those fork-like clamps to build in, but sure you could use your F&F.

If it all goes wrong then shops only charge £10 (+ spokes) for a build or truing, so what the's worst that could happen?

Fortunately I do have access to a wheel truing stand, although I have only ever used it to true wheels.
