Interesting design and nice flexibility, the Walko workbench does have some innovative features. What most struck me was the ability to lay it down on its side, when setup as a saw horse, and get a flat table to cut sheets of 4′ x 8′. I guess typical workbench legs could be adapted to do this with a little innovative add-on.
Walko Tables are light weight, portable, and sturdy. The Walko-4 Frame weighs in at a 41.8 Pounds, and folds up to be carried in seconds. The Bamboo table tops are water resistant and light weight as well. Everything about this table is engineered to last, and provide reliability on the job site or in the shop.

Vermont American introduces a new line of carbide blades.
All blades have a heavy, fully-hardened plate to resist deflection under load, laser-cut body with precision tolerances for accurate cuts, tri-metal shim braze that increases impact resistance for longer life and helps prevent fractures in the carbide teeth, patented C3 Dyanite™ carbide that lasts 6 times longer than standard carbide and their extra-large teeth that allow re-sharpening for extended life.
The 27247 blade is designed to work with 6-1/2” standard or wormdrive circular saws and has a 40-tooth count to deliver clean cuts whether ripping or cross-cutting.
The vast majority of portable circular saws use a 7-1/4” blade and Vermont American has introduced six new blades to tackle a variety of applications. All blades include a diamond arbor knock-out for wormdrive saws.
In the 7-1/4” wood cutting category, Vermont American offers three blades:
- 27248 – Designed for ripping, this blade has 12 teeth and a Flat Top Grind (FTG) configuration. In tandem, these features allow users to cut wider boards along their length or quickly resize plywood or building panels.
- 27249 – Able to rip or cross-cut, the blade has 24 teeth and an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) tooth configuration.
- 27250 – Rip or cross-cut, but with a 40 tooth ATB configuration, this blade produces a cleaner cut for pieces where a smoother finish is desired.

I say the more reference to tools in the kitchen area is a good thing. From NerdApproved via Gizmodo

INCRA has teamed up with Woodpecker to create the PRL-V2 router lift insert. Adjust the roughly the height of the router, then use a large embedded thumb wheel insert on the top of the table to make your final fine adjustments.
The concept is like nothing else: To raise or lower the router quickly, the quick lifting tool disengages the lift’s mechanism and the spring assist allows the heaviest routers to travel freely with very light effort and no cranking. The router’s collet can be raised above the table for bit changes in two seconds!
Adapter pads include DeWALT DW618, Bosch 1617EVS & 1618 and Porter-Cable series 690 and 890
I’m surprised, the price is quite reasonable for the features and construction looks quite impressive on the pics!

Lee Valley has an interesting DIY segment on building sawhorses. The idea that came to my mind is that I always have scraps of plywood kicking around, why not put them to use as the plans show that mostly small strips are used. Plans even include sacraficial board.

Looks like C.H. Hanson is taking the pain out of scoring drywall. This little compact utility knife has their “ScorSlot” feature which allows you to snap in a measuring tape. Plus it’s compact so you don’t have to loose some room in the tool belt.
This allows users to measure and score at the same time without breaking the tape, and best of all; it keeps fingers safely away from the blade. For all applications, the thumb rest allows users to apply pressure directly over the blade, making for easier, faster scoring and cutting.
