Cutting them myself occurred to me as I was installing new floors in my house. I would often end up with thin strips of wood, 1/16" wide, etc. after "ripping" long boards. Rip a few, then cut them to length. The downside is the amount of waste would be similar to the amount of produced ties, because the blade is about 1/8" thick. I'd also need to start with stock that's the correct thickness. But in an hour or so, I could crank out a ton of ties I'm sure. Not sure I'll go down this road, but an interesting concept nonetheless. In the end, it may very well be cheaper to buy a bag of ties.
