|  Ty's Tow Ropes
I started making this in 2008 out of necessity. After seeing the countless shoe string straps that people are using break all the time I decided everyone needs one of these.  These are made out of Parachute cord and sewn together with heavy duty thread. The thread is then covered with shrink tube to keep it from coming apart and taking years of abuse! Here is one from 2008  Which I still have today  Here is another one I have had since 2010 that still gets used frequently.  These add a great scale touch, but with function capable of taking a beating!   And they are available here: Ty's Tow Ropes |

Everyone's stars are mounted from the back with screws... Without a screwdriver... No one would have stars. .... and hidden under every Red star is a Blue star ! . |

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I was just wondering how the loop was terminated before the heat shrink was applied! Was it tied off or just looped and then heat shrunk? |
