That's a video that I'd like to see too.
I've done both ways described in this thread many times. The locking method never slips...period. But taking the strings off is a pain (literally).
The wrap-around-first method is fast and easy, but I've seen strings slip using this method. As far as I can tell, there is no string company, no mandolin builder, no guitar builder or any serious luthier/technician that recommends the wrap around first method.
Not saying it's wrong or that it doesn't work for those who like it. I still do it myself that way often. But I would like to see a credible video showing a demonstration of that method.
