Need to find a stud so you can hang your pictures safely? In the US, most homes have framing members, or studs, installed on 16-inch centers.  Other standards call for 24-inch centers.  Many people buy stud finders to quickly and easily locate the studs, but you can find them on your own without purchasing special tools. Once you find a stud, use a pencil to make a small dot to mark the spot, then hang your picture with the knowledge that it's going to stay put.
