Thanks guys.

Could you give some ideas of the rest of the materials you used for the truss rod?
Well, as I showed above, the anchor was made from 1/2 in. steel rod threaded with a 10-32 tap. The rod itself is 3/16 in. steel rod threaded with a 10-32 die. These rods are available from Lowes, Home Depot and many neighborhood hardware stores. The truss rod nut is this one from StewMac.

Almost forgot about this. This is a great tool for neck shaping ........ part of a set I bought from Grizzly. It's good to get the burnishing tool from StewMac so you can keep a good edge on it.
