well, not from scratch, but I laced a new rim to my front hub this week with a minimal tool setup using mostly zip ties on my fork for a truing stand and a cheap spoke tension meter though, to be fair, once I got the tension close I relied a lot upon the pitch of the ping when I tapped the spoke, it was a lot like tuning a guitar in 4 dimensions (dish, round, true left/right). I think I’d like to try building a whole wheel from scratch now.
