For decades I was intimidated to take on this last skill set. I could do everything else but wheels. Finally I splurged and got the Park TS-2 truing stand and the Brandt book, knowing that this monetary investment would fuel my motivation to really get into it.

I practiced on a couple of vintage builds, then put together 3 sets of touring wheels for our family. These are still true with no issues after 2000 miles of loaded riding.

My point is that the craft is not as complicated or hard to learn as one might imagine. As already mentioned it is also one of the most satisfying aspects of bike tinkering.
