What is cool about this method is that there is no measuring involved.
What is also nice for myself, is the fact that I can keep the string taught from the beginning. As you might have experience, sometimes a Bridge Pin will pop up slightly. With this method..I can hold the bridge pin with one hand, and bring the string to a mild tension with just a wrap around the post. Then I can take my hand off the bridge pin and start wrapping around the post.
But again, the one difficulty is holding down the two wrapping around the post and then inserting the String through the eye. Every system has its pluses and minuses. But so far I really like the way this is working.
I have only done it once, but so far it worked flawlessly. I recommend you making the hole vertical, so you where to look for it. The Winding can cover it up. And if your are changing in a darker environment, knowing approximately where the hole is can be helpful.
By the way, Two wraps will equate to three wraps when you finishing bringing it to full tension.
