Nah you're fine, wood isn't a conductor of electricity. I build mine on wood, zero problem. Just touch something metal that's grounded before hand and you'll be fine.

The boxers gotta go. Possible static vessel. Also all clothing needs to be picked up off the floor before you begin and put in its proper place (clean/drawers, dirty/hamper). You should also vacuum your room before you begin (one fiber of lint or particle of dust in the wrong place and you're gonna have a bad time).

Hope this helps. Good luck OP

What kind of fabric are your boxers? You want to make sure you aren't wearing any kind of loose, natural fibers like pure cotton or wool. Stick to something like silk or polyester, also make sure they're very tight and form fitting to avoid friction.
