How can you find the wall stud without a stud finder?
Answer By putting your ear to the wall : A wall is a collection of studs (usually sized 2x4 or 2x6) equally spaced (usually 16 in. or 24 in. on center) and sandwiched between top and bottom plates. : If you start from the corner, you can measure 16" or 24" and hope that you find a stud. You can hit the wall, and where it sounds more hallow, no stud exists where the sound is higher, there is a stud. But if you can't tell a difference, then measuring could be your only bet.
