Big Board or Little Board

[Fastpedal]

I have one of these boards. My husband and I made it following instructions from the internet. At first I had it over my regular ironing board. A while ago I saw a posting on the internet (perhaps this board) of putting the board on a small chest. The chest could be used for storage. Soon after seeing that posting I was at an auction and found a dinning room server which I thougt would be perfect. My husband put rollers on the server and now I can use it anywhere in the house. The drawers and space in the middle are perfect for storing quilting supplies. I use the board to iron just about everything. My regular ironing board is put away.

Can someone tell me why it rotates my photos when I upload them? Sorry the photo is so dark.

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you how to fix it now. Right click on the picture. Then click on "View image". The picture comes right side up no matter which way it had been facing, sideways or upside down.

I've had the little Big Board since the mid 1990's and use it for all ironing, rotary cutting etc. My cutting mat just fits and being able to adjust the height definitely helps my cutting more accurately. I recently tried cutting with the mat on the sewing machine table and had much more difficulty using the rotary cutter. You definitely can make one yourself, but this was one of the best purchases I ever made both for ironing fabric, shirts, etc. and rotary cutting.

And your "dark" picture is easy to see when it is upside up!

my son-in-law made one for me and I cannot sew without it. I absolutely love the wide/long ironing space. There is a pattern available, I got mine on line. Pleasant Valley Creations Ironing board and cover

Thanks to everyone for your feedback & suggestions. Dear hubby and I will make one when the weather warms. I don't like using the saws in the house. I figured about $35-40 plus tax for the supplies and an afternoon putting it together (after all the shopping is done). Considering all that, I guess $99 is not a bad price to have the Little Board delivered to your door.
