Don't matter how sharp my bit is, drilling literally 1000's of holes and hammering in 1000's of T-nuts, and shooting 1000's of screws will hurt.

You may not have been using proper whisky. I found that having a good quality whiskey helps with repetitive tasks like this. Also, I did all of my drilling and hammering with the plywood up on a workbench so my back wasn't toast

Yup! Thought I was just about done once we got to the drilling and t-nut phase. Wasn’t prepared for the exhaustion of drilling thousands of holes and sinking thousands of t-nuts. We went with ones you had to sink manually too. After setting with holds and backing out took too long, resorted to hammering hundreds in. Exhausting work.

I remember that pain, but I bought some 16 inch drill bits and stacked and clamped my plywood together and drilled through 5 or 6 sheets at a time.
