I have seen some effective set ups that where brain stormed.
If you study how good roller setup is put together you'll notice that wing nutts allows to control tension, very important. The make-shifts I've seen where made from in-line roller skate wheels. Two wheels evenly spaced is where the blank sits and a separate top movable piece having one wheel sits on top of the blank, this piece has a groove and wing nutts so that its adjustable.
Mikecc gave me a similar set used for drying purpose but with a little ingenuity you can wrap rods with it too.
