Oh, the good 'ol framing stud that used to be affordable until people started to binge watch DIY videos.

Looks like it might score a solid 92 5/8" but could go 96"! What a stud!

That's where the old saying comes from, You got wood? or I have wood.........

I guess that's a stud by today's standard. Us old timers who hunted back in the 60's and 70's would pass. Look how far apart those growth rings are. Todays stud is yesterdays fire wood.

Chances are it's twisted. Would that make it a non typical?

We had a actual Stud grade when I worked in the mill. It was between Standard and Utility grades. Then we had #1 and Select. We had kilns but seldom dried 2x4's. After going through the planer it all got dipped in Knock Stain to keep it from molding.

We did have a precision end trimmer and we trimmed a lot of 2x4's to 92 1/4" for studs. That trim saw system was home made from a WWII era torpedo tube. You set the length and it stayed right on size for days. It was accurate to within 1/32". Any custom length the customer wanted up to 16'

Hey Eel?

I Thought STUDS Were 92-5/8"?

I'm no builder but I guess it depends on how thick your top and bottom plates are?

Bluehair · Nov 3, 2020

You suppose standard studs are different lengths in different countries? Like 52" in China and 122" in Norway?

eelgrass · Nov 3, 2020

Stud lengths probably change from week to week, depending on the batch of the sheet rock you get from China.

huntindad4 · Nov 3, 2020

Standard stud length when i was building (25+ years ago) was 92-1/4".

That said the mill that the lumber yard here got studs from made 2x6 studs 1/4" longer so....idk?
