Pics of the actual build are always good. If it's wired as in the pics you referenced it should work and make some sound.
Since you haven't checked the jack, you might check to see if you got the connections reversed. I'd try that before anything else.
Next I'd disconnect the tone pot. That's probably not it, but I'd do it anyway.
Next jumper the hot lug to the center lug on your volume pot. That should take everything but the switch and the pickups out of the circuit.
You could try checking the pups with a multimeter, as has been suggested. It may be unlikely that both would be dead, but it's not impossible. A broken winding will result in a "1" on an Ohms meter.
