There's no right or wrong way to use any fastener really, let your imagination guide you.

With the thread rod I usually use it in one of or a combination of 3 ways:
1) use a 1/2-5/8 acrylic base plate, drill and tap it add your thread rod, then "stack" your pre drilled rock over it. finally cinching it all down with a nut.

2)Drill two pieces of rock and through bolt them

3)Using a pre existing crevice or drilled hole insert and epoxy in place a "stud" to be used to bolt the next piece in place.

With any on these I like to also use a mixture of rubble rock and epoxy to make seats and bearing points so that I can get rock to "sit" at the angle I want.

You are right about the pics ...we have a whole section like that planned for the new website, just a bit limited as to what we can do with this one.
