I was talking about locking tuners at a club yesterday and mentioned that I use a system for my standard tuners that is described on this video.
I am sure that many people have come across it but for those who haven't....

The old ways are definitely the best. I make use of a capo to "hold" the string at the first fret, which frees up my right hand.
Also I'd recommend starting with a bit more slack. This means more turns stack down the post and that increases the break angle over the nut.

To estimate the slack for that method, could one just pull the string to the 2nd per afteg the one being wound?

I use the two fret method to gauge the amount of slack for windings on the post. Pull string taut, then slide back using two frets at around 7th fret to judge it, bend string in post hole to mark position and wind on.
