Today it's wheels again (and so on).
I often can't build wheels during official shop hours.
This isn't a recent thing—it's been this way for a long time.
I've noticed a pattern: on days when I manage to build even one wheel by 5 PM,
the wheel building work afterward tends to go smoothly.
I built Nomu Lab wheel #1.
Front wheel: Evo-Lite hub 20H, all-competition Nupoke radial laced,
Rear wheel: Leaf hub 24H, all-competition 4-cross laced.
I plan to do spoke soldering eventually, but not today.
Recently I replaced my soldering iron tip along with its protective tube,
but after just 2 or 3 uses it's already lost that fresh-off-the-shelf look.
