How to Find a Wall Stud. Amazing Method!
How to find a stud in the wall. How would you like to be able to find a stud in a plaster wall / drywall wall, easily and every time without an expensive stud finder?
THE MOST FOOL PROOF METHOD OUT THERE!!
Get yourself a magnet. That's it!! Drywall is attached to studs using metal fasteners. The magnet picks up on these metal fasteners giving you the exact position of the stud!! Now that is amazing!
The best magnets to use are called 'Rare Earth Magnets'. You can find these in old computer hard drives that you see on peoples nature strips waiting to be picked up on hard rubbish day or you can get yourself one from any electrical supplies store for around ten to fifteen dollars. The one that l have is about 25mm (one inch) in diameter and about 4mm (a bit over one eighth of an inch) thick.
So there you have it. Get yourself a magnet and happy stud hunting.
BONUS TIP:
If you find yourself building or renovating your home from scratch, or removed some plasterboard to do some work, take a photo of the stud wall prior to the drywall or plasterboard going up. This will let you know where the studs are at a later date when you need to find one.
