> You can use plexiglass and a ground strap (wrist type)


That scares me a bit, as plexi is a pretty good insulator (and therefore
it's easy to generate static on it). Even with a wrist strap I can picture
some damage occurring. Wood would be strongly preferable in IMHO. Even
better would be an ESD laminate top, which are available from places like
www.mcmaster.com. That's kinda/sorta what we use.
