I've used frame and fork. It works, but I'd not really recommend it for offset mtb wheels and so on.
A cheap park or feedback will work fine. There are probably a load fo cheap ones around used, or if you have a mate who builds wheels occasionally, borrow their stand.
Anyone use the park master spoke key? I have a kinda shit spoke key and I figure its about time I get a proper one.

I've used the master, it's beautiful, but went for the 4-sided SW-40 for my personal kit. For building new wheels it doesn't matter, but truing up beat to shit nipples, the 4-sided is a life saver. It's slower to use, so if you have a tool fetish or build a fair number of wheels, maybe get both.
These are great. Unior's tools are fantastic too with 4 sided contact and good fit.
I have the Park master and the DT-Swiss fancy one.. I like the latter better, but only by a little bit. They are better to use on a stand.
I have the wee park spoke wrenches to chuck in my pocket when riding.
