Just use one of the electronic stud finders. They are pretty accurate now. All they do is scan for a change in density. Tap the wal or ceiling until you find a spot you know does not have a stud (it'll sound hollow). Start here. Turn on the device and move it until it lights up. This will be one edge of the stud, mark it. Keep moving until the light goes out, this will be the other edge of the stud, mark it too. Verify by coming from the other side. Now drill somehwer between the to marks and you have hit the wood.
