With the ties cut they are loaded into the jig.
Some glue is applied to the bottom of the rail,
just try to avoid the moving parts of the turnout
, and place it over the cut ties and let the assembly dry.
I did have to add some thin plastic shims in the grove where the ties sit so there is enough clearance so that the switch doesn't get glued to the jig.
The jig was built with the idea of building a Left and Right set at once with a work space in the middle.
It's a pretty handy set up that works well for me...
