So, I have been making some of those, got a good shape but am struggling with getting them right.  I keep getting the nut to set into the back and they dont sit right on the ring, instaed of being heart top to top of ring they sit sideyways, is there a way of getting them so so they screw on to sit the right way?  ???

Short answer: no :( If you only ever make them for your own ring, you can mark the mandrel where the tip should be, etc., but every screw will be set into every ring in a different place - I suggest adding extra silicone or rubber rings underneath, that way, you can adjust it a bit.

Ah thanks Sabine! Had me baffled this, I was trying to work out if there was a particular or 'right ' way!  :)
