I'm not sure where to start here. Let's see if I have this right, you have a work bench with no electricity to it.
Solution: Get another bench and place where you do have electricity. You are going to need power for the objects you are working on. Just clipping onto metal won't cut it. A ground actually has to have continuity with the ground, be that the ground wire in an electrical outlet a water pipe, like a radiator. Walking on carpet builds static electricity and just 1/10 the amount you get when you get a little static shock will fry electronic components. Read the guide on ESD so can understand it.
