    I wouldn't consider myself a pro by any means I just began making razors last year so take what I'm about to say and do with it what you will, and I'm sure if it's a terrible idea one of the more experienced guys will correct me.

    When I'm putting the razor together for the final time I like using a little bit of super glue or something similar on both sides of the wedge (with the pin in of course) and clamping it tight. Then once it sets peen the pin it really helps get that super tight fit along the wedge. Then pinning the actual blade in last.

    I glued the spacer with wood glue to one side of the scales so it would stay flush after sanding. I'll make sure to do the same with the wedges!

    Good idea, that way you can still make adjustments if needed..

    Most Vintage stuff is unglued
    You find some that are one side glued
    and a few that are both side glued

    That's what I did. When my FW Engels blade broke, the Boker was smaller and thinner, so I had/chose to sand down the non glued side to get the blade to sit right. I got the idea from a how-to article on this site!
