last year there was a guy selling home made dryers on flea bay for under 20 clams. 4 rpm for a nice even finish. hardly a steep investment for not having to baby sit the finish.
If you do decide to turn it by hand, I did this for my first 2 rods. The method I came up with was to mix and apply my finish immediately after I got home from work. I would then sit down to watch some TV programming for the evening. Turning the rod a 1/4 or 1/2 turn every commercial break on the TV was a perfect time interval. This was with Aftcote brand finish. Hand turning also works better if you do thin coats of finish rather than thick coats.
