Just a box or two with V grooves will work to wrap. For drying , some guys rig up a barbecue rotissierie motor. You got to keep it spinning for 4 to 6 hours or your finish will sag.
The fact is that the more fancy the rod , the more you do by hand , even if you have a lathe. lathes are great for underwraps and for some overwrapping as long as you are not changing colors a lot or doing spirals , etc. You use the lathe base and rollers a lot but the actuall wrapping motor is only used about half the time.
i don't think its possible to do the drying by hand. i don't care how patient you are. You got to figure out how you wll turn the rod before you apply any finish. Just not possible to turn it by hand IMO.
