A dip tube doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. PVC pipe and a end cap is really all you need. The diameter only needs to be big enough to fit the rod into. It doesn't matter if the rod touches the sides except at the surface of the varnish or above. If you make the tube of 1" pipe with a slightly larger section at the very top, say 6" long, it will only take a quart of varnish to fill it.

You can use your fly reel and some chalk line to make a manual hoist. Just go slow. 2 - 4 inches per minute withdraw rate is typical.

If you can find a relatively dust free room with enough ceiling height to set it up in you can get great results with a simple set up.
