Good luck- I'm putting together some photo's together of a second truing device which is a console type rather then a bench type, in using this new one I find it comfortable to work with.
Look for it in the next couple of weeks.

Can i use a bike's fork too as a Truing stand?

Yes you can - I think there is an Instructable that shows a fork being used. Remember you need a caliper or equal to true the rim.
Good Luck.

I have built another truing stand I will post soon - it is a "bench" type (console) I find to be easier to perform the truing & dishing procedures.
