That's fairly similar to what I do except for squeezing the parallel pairs. I tighten the nipples until the threads are just covered; that gets them all the same. Then I start going around and around the wheel tightening the spokes with my fingers a couple of turns at a time until there is no slop left. Then I use the screw driver to finish getting the spokes tight and the wheel true. I've done enough of them now that I can drill the rim, drill the hub, and lace the wheel complete in about an hour.Jim
