Here are a few pictures of TO's I made. My photography skills are not great but thought I would share them. One of them shows reusing quicksticks to make a fixture to apply regular wooden ties to a finished TO. It works real well. I used a similiar fixture to place the ties on the photo showing the "alternating TO's" in one of the other pics. The Fast Tracks tools and supplies are extremely versatile.
