Yes, building your own wheels brings a lot of satisfaction. If you take your time, they will turn out great, and be very reliable. I've built about 8 wheelsets. I'm VERY slow, but they've been great wheels.
I need to build at least 2 wheel sets this winter. One 650B set for my campeur (Grandpa of Bombadil): http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/sets/72157626711955076/ Another set of wheels for my 1954 R.O.

Holdsworth Whirlwind: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/sets/72157627733642143/ I'm going to try to get these three bikes done in time for the Seattle Bike Expo Vintage Show in March. I've also worked on that Message in a Bottle guitar part - it's not technically difficult, but boy are those notes spread out on the fret board. I've got largish hands, but I remember some aching fingers from those riffs! That's a fun one, though. Enjoy!
