I just found this web site. It is pretty good at showing how to tie knots. I also just added it to our links section. http://www.animatedknots.com/

That's an awesome site!
Question: They mention three types of whipping...the Sailmakers, Sailors and the West Country. Are any of those suitable for whipping a home made hammock?

The West Country and Sailor's whippings will work. The Sailmaker's has to pass through the middle of the rope, so you'd have to put a hole in the hammock...not good.
Here's the one I use.
