I have been given a Dawes bike in bits and I mean bits.
The problem I have is my mate (Ha, ha) decided to cut all the spokes on the rear wheel before he took the cassette off the hub. Any ideas of how to hold the hub whilst trying to unscrew the cassette so I can re-build the wheel.

if it is a cassete remove it in the normal way (chainwhip and lockring remover), if it is a hub with a screw-on freewheel get better friends -- --- Marten Gerritsen

Try lacing up the non-drive side with some old spokes and see if it will hold up enough to get the cassette off. Otherwise you're pretty stuck.
Depends whether it is a cassette or freewheel.
Casette is easy, just use a chain whip and the appropriate lock ring remover.
Freewheel is a bit harder. A bench vice could be useful to clamp teh hub flanges, or get some old spokes and wire the hub flange to a bit of 2x1 or a pipe.

BTDT
Doorframe with a pair of very solid door chain attachments. Two loops of Kevlar kiteline, threaded through opposing spoke holes. Chain whip on the freewheel. Apply torque and let the hub twist to pull the "spokes" tight.

Chances are you twist the spidle of the hub shell.
At least it did when I tried it an an old normandy hub years ago.
