My son made this for me in his wood shop class this year.

He was looking for a project to make, and knowing that my big ironing board was kind of wobbly on top of my regular ironing board, I suggested making something a little more sturdy. I never thought it would be this beautiful and detailed.

I am thrilled with the sturdier ironing surface, as well as the new storage (if you didn't already notice, I have it almost filled already!).

That is a great ironing surface. He had a really good shop teacher too. I love the idea of having more storage for fabric. He is a keeper.

Your ironing station is wonderful. The added storage is a real plus. Your son is very talented...he surely is top in his class. :thumbup:

He did a wonderful job. I didn't realize that wood shop classes were available anymore. My DH's full time job is wood furniture repair and restoration. He loves it.

WOW!! That is awesome!!!

Wood shop is still available in our school, but they have removed other classes that I think are just as important - auto shop for one. I think that class should be manditory, but unfortunately our school board doesn't agree.

Oh, my heck! I love that. How lucky are you? It is beautiful.

And the fuzzy white paws add interest as well, lol. Give your son a great big "way to go"
