[CAUT] Double loop German stringing

Folks,

We recently acquired a well used Schimmel grand which will need almost
everything. (Yes, it was also very cheap)

When the time comes to restring, I'll be faced with 68 unisons of
individual strings. It has the German style loops with a double wrap
around the hitchpin.  I've got no problem doing the single wrap slip
knot, and I'm sure I could figure out a way to make the doubles look
good, but as I'm not into reinventing the wheel, I wonder how others
have dealt with this.

Do you make up a jig, just use a nail on the workbench, or what?
