I drew up another neck outline on a new piece of MDF, and instead of cutting it to shape I routed a channel for the truss rod. This was to check that the fence I rigged up was straight - and so I could do another test before the real piece. Worked well.
The truss rod I used is a Hot Rod. It came from Stew Mac. The router bit I used the Hot Rod router bit, also from Stew Mac.
These Hot Rods are designed to go in straight, avoiding the need to worry about routing a curved channel in the neck like they did in the 50's.
