Message: The "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" book had a clear description on how to lace up a 3x wheel. I still use this as my reference guide.

I find the crucial bit is the initial tightening of the spokes after the wheel is laced. Getting this right makes truing more easy. Both take patience.

You don't need a proper jig and dishing guage but it does make life easier. Try and borrow one if you can.
