I build my K1 and K2 with accessories using a wooden table as workbench.
I take into account not to use clothes that are known to produce static.
I also has a grounded point that I touch now and then to be sure.
All projects went together without any builderrors or static zapps.

A wristwrap and antistatic mat would be nice , but knowing about the problem 
and use some common sence ,
you can do without it unless you live in very dry enviroment.
