I was thinking of buying a large piece of plywood that I could cover and just set on top of my cutting table when I need it, rather than trying to fit one to my existing ironing board. Has anyone tried this?
This is one of my favorite blogs that I read and she has a nice ironing board that she did.

This is an awesome idea. I think this would be a little easier to get set up rather than lifting the board onto the cutting area. That could be a little heavy to lift up.
There may also be a way to attach a lever clamp underneath. This would allow the board to remain attached for easier set up and take down if you're in that situation. I didn't like that the board was permanently attached through the metal ironing board top. I was going to research an solution to this the next trip to the home supply store. I'm sure there's got to be a way!
I would suggest making a removable cover that can be taken off and washed. My cover is always getting all sorts of stuff laid on it. I like the idea of having a clean place to iron my project pieces.
