Magnet Projects

Magnets can be used to find studs in walls by detecting the presence of metal objects that may be embedded in the studs.

In the case of wall studs, whether wood or metal, these metal objects may include nails or screws that were used to secure the drywall/sheet rock or plaster to the studs. By marking the spots where the magnet is attracted and looking for a pattern...
