    After peening rod in vice, I assemble with washers, cut excess rod, and final size on belt sander. When I file, too easy for me to accidentally score the scales.

    Polished ballpeen and jewlers block as noted above.

    After tight, I always final shape wedge edge to assure clean fit, so end up with MicroMesh on the scales, after tight. So I MicroMesh the pin head at same time.

    I realize the pivot will get wacked to tighten someday anyway, but why not make pretty from the start.
