Day 9 (still!) - Preparing the Truss Rod

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!

Cheers
