fork mount/lock/whatever for trainer (not rollers)?

The idea of periodically pumping the front wheel of a bike which is permanently locked to a trainer and never sees the road annoys me enough, but this morning i had to replace the tube.
No more.
In an attempt to avoid contributing $30 to the airless tire market, i'm hoping someone can recommend a fork mounting system for trainers (not rollers). I thought of devising something myself using wood and a quick release skewer, but frankly i don't trust my or my gf's health to my engineering ability (more so my lack thereof); google searches and chats with Those Who Know have thus far yielded nothing.

If not, can you at least recommend a cheap airless tire? Thirty is the lowest i've found for a 700c, which makes me frown.
