I have to agree with Charlie. I think you'll find the luthier's knot is the right way to go. A few other suggestions:
1. use coated strings so you need 1/2 as frequent changes
2. when you wind the octave (high g) string, leave as many windings as possible.
3. the rest of the strings do require much slack or windings aside from the knot.
