In the past I've looked up a bunch of different contraptions and really like one out of the bunch. For repairs, I made V cuts in 3 - pieces of PT decking material 12" long (or so) and lined the V cut with felt. Mounted a square piece of the same material to the bottom.
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....
