FilipT:
Thanks Del

Here's an earlier version I used before I realised a simple ring worked just as well and was easier to make! ::)

FilipT:
I have similar things to this at home and rings too. What inside diameter of ring you use and how much shortening of string can it do?

OD 37mm   (Outside Diameter)
ID 16mm    (Inside Diameter)
Thickness 10mm
Each turn through it changes the string by about 1", twisting will give fine adjustment.
It could do to maybe be a bit thinner, or smaller OD as 1" is a little too much. The ID is about right as it allows you to thread the string through the hole nicely.

FilipT:
Thank you. So it seems you don't really need put much loops through the ring for adjusting.
