What happens here

After marking the plates, crown your studs by checking for any natural bend or bow in the wood; the bow should face upwards (the crown) for consistent wall strength. Then, place your studs onto the marked plate and nail through the plate into the studs using a nail gun.

Goal: Attach studs to the bottom plate, ensuring proper orientation

Tools and materials

  • Nail Gun — Attaching the studs to the plates
  • Nails — Securing studs to plates
  • Wood Studs — Vertical framing members of the wall
