How To Use A Stud Finder To Mount A TV

[@wellgoodgravy]

I'm a lifelong knucklehead when it comes to handyman work, but this educated me a great deal. Thank you.

[@woodworkfamily9787]

Glad to help

[@dontfeedmygiraffe]

I second this. This made it way less complicated. Thanks!

[@BoarsGamingBG]

I like how I understood what you were showing us, and how down to earth you seem in the video. Thanks!

[@woodworkfamily9787]

I'm glad you feel this way. Thank you for the comment!

[@tracycottrell5146]

Bravo! And thank you. I was beginning to think me or my stud finder was broken

[@tessimhof7581]

You are phenomenal at explaining things.... I wish you were my law professor.

[@meghanihamid]

I have seen several other videos on finding studs. Yours is in line with others and clear and precise. Well done and thumbs up

[@brianwalker3370]

Thank you for the step by step details. You were very helpful.

[@woodworkfamily9787]

I'm glad it helped

[@Chris-ji8jw]

Hey Kev, thanks for demistifying, how uh stud-finder works. I really like your tips. Small drill bit, if wood comes out, you know you've hit a stud. Go between 2 marks, left and right, and you even showed how to find a stud, without a stufld finder. Pretty cool, Kev. Thanks ( : Thumbs-Up 👍🏻🔥

[@woodworkfamily9787]

[@artmccarthy3268]

Outstanding, thank you.

[@Abc-ft8qf]

Did anyone remember that one scene from the George Lopez show where he was fixing something and he picks up a stud finder and then while it's beeping he puts it on his chest it says it's been found

[@mdeez8286]

Yes I remember that and never was able to forget it, everytime I hear stud finder I remember him lmao

[@allupinya5938]

FTP George Lopez is no friend of his own people. He's a hater

[@kameishagreenunapologetica8210]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@woodworkfamily9787]

I'm glad I was able to help!

[@danielgomes4754]

Instead of using a drill bit to test the 2x4, I would use a very thin nail and gently hammer it in. One in the middle and one each about half an inch on either side.

[@woodworkfamily9787]

Great idea

[@dlgslg4293]

good job . Thank you

Thank you, that was helpful.

[@bobmullins-g4x]

Good advice, what kind of stud finder are you using

[@woodworkfamily9787]

It's a zircon brand stud finder. You can check it out at this link: amzn.to/3rlMGY0 Plus I put links in the description of all my videos for the tools or products I use.

[@Xhealthtravelfitness]

Would this stud finder also work through shiplap? I just purchased one and installing a ductless AC unit on my shiplap wall and have little room for error.

[@rdorenegades5849]

I think I found the stud because it was harder to drill into the wall. Can you give me feedback it’s also over the outlet

[@woodworkfamily9787]

That's one way to tell. Another is if you look at the tip of the drill bit and there is a little wood in the grooves.

[@b.chaves1107]

Hi Kev, what's the brand of your stud finder.? Or any best brand you can recommend?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

It's a zircon brand stud finder. You can check it out at this link: amzn.to/3rlMGY0 Plus I put links in the description of all my videos for the tools or products I use.

[@aarronwilson5647]

[@booshveg]

is this only applicable to dry walls or i can use it to find wires or metal pipes inside brick walls ?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

The stud finder in this video won't work on a brick wall because it is too dense. In fact exterior walls have too many layers for them to work. I'm not sure if there are any that are designed for these walls.

[@ANDYCABZ]

thank yew

[@tracker4854]

Sorry for this dumb question, but if I’m drilling something onto my wall, do I drill into the stud or on sides where it’s hollow?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

That's a good question. The goal of finding a stud is so we can drill into them. This will allow a better hold on your screw. If there is no stud where you want to put a screw you can use an anchor.

[@tracker4854]

@@woodworkfamily9787 thank you so much for taking your time to answer and upload this quality!

[@chancesc6415]

I feel scared. I may be catching on slow but am I drilling my screw in between the marks where my stud finder beeped as you did I. The video? I do t want to get electrocuted. I know I should just hire a pro but I can’t afford that every time

[@cbpa07]

What about when you use this and the 1st 2 holes are to some sort of metal?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

are you in a building that might have metal studs? they are typically used in industrial type buildings, like offices, etc. You would want to use sheet metal screws if this is the case. they make some with drill bits on the tip of the screws.

[@lukescroggins1826]

Thank you, very helpful

[@elizabethpelly7975]

I'm putting bords up on a wall. Sometimes I miss my mark. If you got more than one bord going up, what is my best approach in finding the stud?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by you are putting boards up on your wall. Is it something like ship lap where there are a lot of horizontal boards being attached to a wall? I would find the studs first and then make a vertical mark with a level to be able to see the studs as you work. You may want to drill pilot holes to be sure first, and do this in at least three locations for each stud (top, middle, bottom).

[@rdorenegades5849]

What size bit did you use?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

The size depends on the screw you will be using. You want the bit to be the thickness of the shaft of the screw without the threads. You will be clearing out the wood for the screw to go in, but you still want the threads to grip the stud.

[@hwfranjr]

This type of finder will also locate water pipes,be sure none there or ya might get a SUPRISE,lol

[@bulgiriri]

Thanks for demonstration but the the stud is doing whatever it wants to bad

[@LYCANCLANTEAM]

i might sound like an idiot, y cant i just drill something on the wall will it collapse if its not on the stud?

[@woodworkfamily9787]

If you want to hang something like a picture they make hangers that don't need a stud. Here is a link so you can see what I mean amzn.to/3QoQbZJ (you may need to paste it in the browser). But if you want to hang something heavier like a tv wall mount then finding a stud is required or else it will fall off the wall. This is a good question, thank you for it!

[@Lic.en.derecho]

Isn't the purpose of the stud finder not to make holes all over the wall??

[@aaroncatolico7550]

Anytime a someone brings a 'stud' finder around me, the damn thing keeps going off. They seem to be finding the wrong kind of 'stud'.

[@markvecchio3857]

Never drill holes you do not need, doing so can weaken the integrity of the sheetrock

[@woodworkfamily9787]

That's a great point. Plus the extra holes can look ugly too.

[@blacklyfe5543]

I have dry wall

[@marianamunoz2954]

What is the difference between the setting deep scan and stud scan

[@woodworkfamily9787]

With the "stud scan" setting we are scanning for studs behind drywall. This is typically 1/2" to 3/4" thick. With "stud deep scan" we are able to scan for studs up to 1-1/2" deep. This could be behind other surfaces (not wood). I'm thinking maybe a soundproofing for a music studio.
