A trick to building deep section rims.
Use a wooden toothpick in a pin vice to pick up nipples and spin them a few turns onto the spokes. Note, it might be necessary to break the tip off if it goes in too deep.
FWIW, I use this method 100% of the time because my fat fingers are unsuited to lacing wheels.
