I have a PVC holder bolted to the leg of my workbench, sans doughnuts. I just use a rag wrapped around the butt and use a mobile bucket of rocks, paint can or whatever as my weight to flex the rod.
I then use a piece of nylon line to tie the tip down to the bucket, run mono off the reel, through the guides and out the tip with a sinker on the end. Tie everything off, adjust the guides, add/subtract as needed and measure them up.

More than one way to skin a cat!
May all your paint cans be 40 ponders :-)

Very nice Vic,
Are you going to fill in the cork handles a bit more with Elmers filler. Looks like they were and maybe you shaped them a bit more and opened some voids.
Wraps to me always looks better and take better pics before the finish goes on. That is a nice simple wrap. Many times I thing people go overboard with decorative things.
So what is a Race Point 200??????
