Although it seems opposite, it much easier to build new than to repair old.

For a 10 footer, I would like the v stand 8 feet apart with 4 total v stands.

Turning by hand just adds time. You can do just as nice a job by hand as with a power wrapper.

So its easier putting a cork or foam handle, reel seat, all the guides and lining them up, applying the thread, epoxying them and let them turn for a couple of hours than,

stripping off one broken guide, cleaning the area, lining up one guide, , applying thread, epoxying and turn until dry....
