    @SwirlinDervish: Dude, check out this video by our Tested crew.  It is seriously one of the best videos on the web when it comes to this subject exactly.

    They did a video on something like this on Tested.
     
    Not sure if its exactly what you're looking for because I didn't watch it.
     
    Also, I just built one and didn't do anything like that.  Build it on my wooden kitchen table.  Wore socks.  No need to ground myself because it's not really receiving energy from enything.
