You wouldn't see many young moms doing that these days. Still have that board and it is great!!

Carol, We did everything that we needed to do to get the job done didn't we? I remember doing things with my Mom that wasn't 'woman's work'.... but there were only us 'women' in the house so if it got done we did it! Learned quite a bit from my Mom!

I have the ironing board my grandpa made for my grandma when they first got married- 80 years ago. It has the same metal frame as yours, with a heavy plywood top. It's heavy and bulky to move around, but really stable and I will never give it up.
