Bridge Pin Height Regulation, was: More, More (was Re: Thar She Blows!)

[Farrell]

What do bridge pin pounders that don't like to file use to regulate bridge pin height. I find that using a little piece of wood as a gauge seems to work well until you are finished, and then you realize your pin heights are still undulating. Then if you go and try and touch up, you end up with some pins just too darn short. 

What tricks are available to mask the effects of a bridge pounding slob?
