lacing jig? wheel jig?

[Pawel]

Do they sell wheel / lacing jigs something that holds the hub in place, holds the rim in place and allows you to lace the wheel no problem? adjustable for all wheels?

I just use the floor or a table and lay the rim down put in a few spokes in and it holds it's self together. once you get a few spokes in the correct places, you can just use a spare frame or fork as a jig. If you weld or clamp some nuts with bolts going through them pointed at the rims you can adjust the screws in as you true the wheels. It works pretty good and costs nothing.

Upside down plastic trash can lid. Punch a hole in the middle for the axle. Otherwise it's lap and tabletop.

Seems to me a jig would get in the way of feeding in the spokes. :|

once you get a round of spokes in a 5 gallon bucket can be handy.
