After having considerable difficulty in finding a place to press his clothes, a private in one army camp made this simple ironing board that fits on the foot of his bed. The two supporting braces were bent from a single length of iron rod and hinged to the board as indicated. Hooks formed on the ends of the braces slip over the lower crosspiece of the bed while two additional hooks fastened near the end of the board, slip under the round top of the bed end. However, a wooden brace with straps at the lower end could be substituted, in which case a couple of cleats are nailed to the underside of the ironing board.
