It's pretty funny that at the bottom of page 1 there's an advertisement for ironing boards!

Yes, I have destroyed more irons by having them wobble off the ironing board. I use a really nice ironing board that my MIL purchased at Sears, but over the years it has gotten like me a little wobbly. Can't afford another right now, but sure would like to stop the wobble. LOL

I have one of Mama's, that is very old, but I am so tall, I can't bend over that long to use it. It doesn't adjust. Mama was shorter, but I'm almost 6 ft.

I bought my large ironing board from Costco and I love, love, love it!

Chris - Could you post a pic and explain what your DH did to make the Big Board?

If you do a search there are several pictures of Big Boards and I remember a couple that explained how they made theirs.

Mine looks somewhat like the one pictured only heavier and has a long wire shelf below inbetween the feet. No wiggle at all. It is wider too. I was told it was from Germany when I ordered it years ago.

OK, mine is like yours but about 30 years old, and SOLID. What I do is to turn the board around and iron on the wide end, and put the iron on the narrow end. Trousers are a lot easier to iron this way too, because you have twice the width to work on.

I have the same one you have and I hate it!! I guess it's time to start looking for another one.

Thanks scissors queen. I just bought this one yesterday. DH did not quite understand why I needed another ironing board when nothing was wrong with the one we had. But I bought it anyway.

Chamby - my DH would react the same way. LOL!! He just shakes his head when I come up with ideas. Guess I better get him working on making a Big Board.
