I have built my own wheels in the past, and stopped trying to do that a long time ago. You need good tools and a lot of practice to build a wheel that holds up. That said, being able to make a "good enough" tweak after slamming a pothole is a valuable skill that can save a ride, or even get you to the end of the biking season when you can leave it at the shop for a full workover. If you are interested, _The Bicycle Wheel_ by Jobst Brandt is THE book on spoked wheels, why they work, how to build them, etc. It will take away most of the mystery.
