I could help you out, but I don't have the best truing stand. I have the single sided one from Ultimate Support.

I don't have a truing stand so I use an old fork with zip ties mounted onto my repair stand. It works for me! Once you get the principles down it's pretty easy to get your wheel true. You can also check out:

I haven't seen that other one, but I'm gonna check it out.
