I neglected in the original post to give credit to those who were helpful, by their great tutorials and such, in building this hammock. It may also help those who are looking to do a project themselves. First, obviously are the great vendors, Dutch(http://dutchwaregear.com/) and Scott at(http://diygearsupply.com/), who supplied the materials.
Ian Young(I believe his forum name is Brew guy)- Youtube tutorial on continuous loops found here and splicing a fixed ridgeline found here.
Knotty- Hammock whipping found here.
Xtrekker- his method for cutting fabric, sewing end channels and the math for the "hood" at the head end, found in his video here.
Brandon at warbonnetoutdoors.com- his video of changing the suspension on a Blackbird gave me a peak at the edge binding loop I do at the ends of my hammocks. Not sure if it's exactly what he's doing, but it seems to be working for me. That video is found here.
Lost Biker- method for attaching a bugnet found here.
MAD777- Mike is a great friend and one of the best DIYer's I know. His opinion is the perfect hammock dimensions are 132" x 54". I followed his advise and glad that I did!

Thanks guys for laying the ground work for the rest of us to follow!

Very Nice HangNyak. I have a couple of newbie questions. I noticed the tieouts were in the center instead of about 43-45 inches from the end. The width was 58 inches. How long is your ridgeline?. I'm an inexperienced hammock maker and could use the advice. I'm about to build my second hammock out of that same material. Thanks
