Here is a pic of my first wheel I built using the wheel press plans and instructions from Fun Projects. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I did put a small chip on the edge of one of the spokes but it is very small. I have five more to build. I wanted to have a front and a rear as spares. The spokes were from Stutzman's in Ohio. They are beautiful. Just need to put the final clear coats on the spokes.

Well done! I did my first set of wheels earlier this year and enjoyed the process. :-)

Does it run true when mounted on the spindle?

That is the next test. My axle is apart, so I will report the results when I get the axle back in the car.

Been thinking about re doing my wheels, how expensive are the spokes?
