I've made a grand total of one rod in my life....but this is exactlty how I did it. Guy I know that builds a couple of rods a year showed me how to do it this way. Works real easy

Put the thread in a coffee cup and run the thread through a phone book for tension (if you need more tension add more books). You are the motor that's the only down side.... It works great for repairing rods!!! It packs up really good also!
If you send me your email I'll send you the pics of the rod spinner I like....
