LOL! Baby needs new shoes! I'm cheap, too, and I made my wool pressing board by taking a piece of wood about a foot square, and using a wool blanket I felted to cover it. I used a scrap of silver ironing board cover on the other side.
Then I decided I wanted a smaller one, and used a 1/2" x 6" x about 12" piece of pallet wood (really nice oak, actually, which I sanded) used that same pink blanket for padding, and covered it with some white wool I salvaged from a wool jacket. They both work great, and are very handy. The wool pads that are sold for this are nice, I'm sure, but mine were free! free! free! and they work just fine, too. So, go for it! You're as creative as anyone around, so I know you can rig something with the best of them. Do so, Watson, and make it so.
