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.
I have a flat roof, well that’s what the city calls it, but everyone that owns a house like this knows that flat is not flat at all, it’s tapered in just about every angle possible. My second problem is that I like skylights, lets the light in all over the place and gives an open feeling to just about any space.
So when I add one, it’s often a dance with all kinds of angles to get the roof lined up with ceiling which is also on a slant. It’s quite a process which I’m getting better at but every so often I mess up or scratch my head as to how I’m going to cut something without ending up… on a slant myself.
This really cool adjustable tapered jig project from the editors of Woodsmith and ShopNotes just landed in my mailbox, and just wanted to share. I mean the fast way to all of this is to buy a jig but building one yourself can sometimes lead to new insights and even modify to adapt to other types of cuts.
