    Any suggestions for last minute things to do before drywall goes up?

    I didn't see any mention of it in your original post or any replies but have you run any 20A or maybe higher 220V supplies anywhere? If you don't have a layout for larger machinery yet maybe just a few distributed throughout. Air lines plumbed in the walls?

    Small tool/marking storage, portable

    Thanks all for your suggestions. I thought about doing a pencil case or something similar but would like things to stay a bit more organized. I will probably add some more small tools like picks, electronics screwdrivers etc. I think the MB and CP will be too big for what I'm looking for. I am...

    makita subcompact vs hilti?

    That would be my suggestion. I have the old makita 12V max with the stick batteries that I use constantly in the shop. I also have the 18V LXT system with a good number of tools. I think the downfall to the 18V subcompact is the battery size.

    Good axe recommendation

    Gransfors Bruks if you can stomach the price. I have the small forest axe and it is just awesome for canoe trips. I also have the mini-hatchet that kinda looks like a toy but is awesome for getting a fire going when backpacking if you know how to properly use it.
