I had to mount the TV on the wall. The bracket needed to be attached to a stud to support it.

I didn't have any smooth sided nails, so I hope a threaded "nail" is acceptable?

I don't own a stud finder and I grew up knocking on the wall and using the sound to locate studs. It hasn't failed me yet, so I hope it counts!

I'm not great at the tapping test, so a stud finder is my go-to.

Greetings permies!  I decided an uncut video was the best way to show I hit stud in one try.  I used the impact driver so you can really hear when it gets into the stud.  This was kind of a two-fer badge because I decided to use a stud to hang my two coat hooks from the round wood woodworking badge!

Edit:  I am afraid I do not understand why this was denied the badge bit since previous posts have used screws and been approved.  One is a picture hung by a screw.  The very first reply, in fact was screws in a stud to hang TV mounting hardware and not a picture, which gave the impression that hanging "things" by screws in a stud hit on the first try is in fact an acceptable way to achieve this BB.  If my post is indeed unacceptable would the approving/rejecting party be willing to amend the original requirements to explicitly state that screws are no longer accepted as they once were?  Thank you.

Note: Greetings Gunnar, sorry but this BB is for a nail and a picture.  You clearly found a stud on the first try but that's not fully what this BB is about.  Sorry
