Shawn,
Welcome to the shop. I have a pdf file of a 14" spoke wheel that shows you how to make the wheel so you don't have to re-invent it. If you want it e-mail me at obiwan_themonk@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you Oh, put Spoke Wheel in the subject line so I don't think you're a spammer and delete it.
And I wish I could say that mine was the only shop but this is the first city i've ever lived in that Churches out-number bars, and cabinet shops are second on the list
