For future reference, should the strings have a wind or 2 more than a non-slothead?

We are talking about nylon, right?

Does this refresher course help? Or just make you angrier?

That's a good site to pick up useful information.

I string mine slot heads that way.

BTW: Looks like a Martin slothead.

I have two classicals to restring and have never done it before; I was really unsure of how to proceed. This gives me a place to start.
