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. The only thing I have to do is add a hand rest towards the saddle end, I have some idea's :-)

Got a couple flea markets that we're setting up at so this month and next so I'll do some walkin' and huntin'.
Randy, antique iron slide would be cool :-) Not sure if I'll keep this one, lap steel might take some getting used to. I have a few full size ironing boards to build with so they'll become sixers.
Thanks Dave! This ironing board is a little girls toy so it's very very small, the scale is only 24" and the board is only 20 or so inches tall. I have a few full size boards which will become 6 stringers.

no law saying a lap can't be a 3 stringer ;-)
(or a 3 and one bass ) ( like the rectumbacker )
