Quickly Find a Wall Stud

Tuesday October 17, 2006

Whether trying to hang a heavy object or run an electrical wire or plumbing line in a wall, there are times you need to locate a hidden wall stud.

In the "How-To" Finding a Wood Stud in a Wall, I'll show you ways to locate a hidden wall stud using techniques ranging from nothing but your eyes, to using an electronic stud finder.

And that stud? Well it can run, but can no longer hide. (I know, that one was pretty bad...)

I am planning to hang a 22 inch TV and just wondering the best way to do so securely, I do have a wall mount.
