building a fixed gear wheel

So, I've just ordered a spin doctor truing stand for $40 plus shipping and finished my copy of THe Bicycle wheel by Jobst and now I want to build my first wheel. However, I'm a new fixie rider and want to build a rear track wheel. Of course, I was planning on building with Deep V velovity rims with a rear hub from Sheldon Brown. Is it harder to build one of these wheels as opposed to a cheap flat rim road wheel? Is this a bad idea and could i end up destroying expensive parts?
anyone built a deep V rim as their first wheel build?

just a few questions.
