I wish I saved the lathe from the wall I demo'd in our 1914 house in California.
The studs were 2x3" dimensional, and 16" o.c. It was non-bearing, and I never
got into a bearing wall. My recollection is that the lathe probably came in 4'
lengths.

Doing renovations in Boston many years ago, in walls that could have been 30 or
300 years old, I remember that 16" was nothing more than a good bet.

Best,
Max in Austin
