I have the guides all layed out on the rod. When I did the 27x method, and ran a line from the face to the choker. I was only able to put the 20 and 16 on. When I tried the 12 guide it was way to close to the 16 . What are your suggestions?

Also what is a good trick to get all of the guides to line up straight on the blank other than using the naked eye?
