lacing problem

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I've recently started lacing and rebuilding some old wheelsets. Watching a pretty simple tutorial on youtube by atomiczombie. I've done a few that turned out fine. Using 10 5/8 spokes, ND Model D rear hub, and a repop 26" drop center wheel from bicyclebones. Lacing 3 cross, when I finish, the spokes are too long to snug up and true. I've included a couple pics if that will help. Any pointers would be great. Thanks.

Should be able to release the nipples on only the heads-in spokes and correct the cross pattern
 
Something does not look right!
10 5/8 spokes cross over four (not under lacing as you did)
and start building from stem hole with two spokes almost
parallel clearing the stem hole.

He has a thread in the " the Cabe services" on wheel building - wheel work. Maybe he'd answer some questions for you.....
