Some time ago I finished http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...d-dollars.html. Now there's another one and this time I got a shot at photography (pardon the pun) with my new Canon EOS 400D.

I gave the GD a square point, removed the stabilisers, did a sloppy job with correcting the heel (may do this over), made one-piece scales out of mahony and had a terrible time pinning them. Seriously terrible, I had to try 5 times and it still looks like a 4-year-old's drawing of the sun on one side. I actually managed to crack the scale on one side during pinning. For some reason, I simply could not keep the pin straight, it would bend every single time.

Is there a savvy way to prevent the pin from bending, especially when it is pretty long in order to make washerless pins? I managed several times without this sort of trouble, maybe this razor simply did not want to be assembled.
