Took the new Lil' Miss Ironing Board Lap Steel for a test drive last night at the cabin and I'm pleased. Vintage 1950's girls toy ironing board made in Saginaw, Michigan.

Thanks Ryan! Apparently a lot of things were built in Saginaw back in the day when we built things in this country, this is not the first item I have come across made there.
Very cool. Just saw a video of this, and I had to find out why it was called "Lil' Miss Saginaw." I'm originally from Saginaw, and I'm always surprised to see what kind of cool stuff they used to make there.
I bought an old 1920's-30's full size ironing board at a garage sale today and it's really cool, it still has the paper graphics with the name listed on the top. She' gonna be a full blown 6 string lap.
I have a kid's ironing board almost exactly like this. Mine a little smaller and all-wood construction. I saved it from the trash when my wife was cleaning out a bunch of stuff. It has been sitting on top of the lumber pile waiting for a good idea. I think I could make pretty quick work of this and my daughters would love it.
I am wanting to get a decent video camera bought and starting to do some "demo" vids of the builds. It's a slow process, work is backed up and gettin' in the way of play time. :-(

Sounds like a plan ED :-)
