Abstract
A individual, unattached framing stud comprises a wooden, elongate framing member having at least one through-hole for receiving a service line, such as electrical wiring. A metal safety or protective plate is preferably secured to a side edge of the framing member at a position transverse to the through-hole, so as to prevent the penetration of fasteners or the like which might otherwise damage the service line received in the through-hole. The framing stud is constructed by forming at least one through-hole in the framing member and securing the safety plate in position prior to affixing the framing stud within the frame of the structure.
