+1 on this. The main thing to remember is that the spoke holes in the hub flanges are offset, and how you insert the spokes will determine whether the wheel ends up symmetric or anti-symmetric like machine built wheels. I lace my wheels one spoke at a time, which takes a bit longer, but I get it right the first time this way.
