Hand rod wrapper questions

I recently acquired a free 7' penn guide series rod and it needs a guide replaced. I want to try and fix it myself since I have all the tools and materials necessary to tackle the job except for a hand wrapper (I know I could use a cardboard box and a phone book but I would like to build it out of scrap plywood). Which brings me to my question, about how big should I make the bed of the wrapper? I'd like to make it big enough to possibly handle building a 10' rod at some point in the future. Also would I need a drying setup or could I spin it by hand until the epoxy dries?Thanks
