I'm drilling a hole within my wall so I can put a guitar stand on it.?
Answers: I hung a bunch of these for a guy once (maybe yours are similar)
We were working next to sheet rock walls, 16 inch on-center studs. I used molly bolts - the type that flair out inside. Make sure you use these ones designed for the thickness of your walls (1/2" ; 5/8"; etc)
If you are a material novice . . . draw from a small piece of sheet rock, and play around with the molly bolts (out surrounded by your garage) and see how the whole entry works . . . do it so you can see both sides and LEARN . . . oh yeah . . . when installing molly bolts, use a drill bit and drill the holes, don't just knock them surrounded by with a tack hammer . . . oh yea . . . use a small level to generate the holes level . . .
Your best prospect would be finding a stud to drill the hole into. A stud is simply a 2x4 that is portion of the frame. It will be much sturdier than drywall.
To find one of the studs, you can purchase a gadget at a hardware store - or you can use the good outdated fashioned way and knock along the wall until you hear a segment that sounds dense compared to the rest, and it should happen in the region of eavery two feet. The studs run vertically, so anywhere up or down the wall from the point is fine.
If your furniture layout doesn't contract you to put the guitar on a stud, you can use the drywall. It should hold just fine.
Good Luck, I'm sure you'll do fine.
Well, guitars can be quality of fickle, as you probably already know. So, first off, I'd start out beside asking the guitar where it would close to to stand. If it chooses that particular wall, after...O.K. go for it!
