 >I only need it sporadically for hobby use, so don't want to spend a 
lot on one.

1.  Buy an 18" X 26" aluminum foil oven liner at your grocery store for <$5.

2.  Connect to ground via a 1M resistor in series.

3.  Buy Radio Shack's $5.49 wrist strap(# 276-2397)  and clip to liner.

         You can spend much more if you want, but the above worked
well for me to build a K2 and several SMD projects (ATS-2, ATS-3,
SoftRock, etc.)
