I prepared to glue everything together.
I started by finishing my truss rod. Cut the U-channel and the threaded rod to length...
...and rounded the ends.
When the rod goes into the U-channel it should not turn freely. So, at one end, I made the following:
This has to be really tight! The nut width is exactly the inside width of the U-channel.
At one end I can adjust the tension, while on the other end the rod is uneble to turn...
More to come!
