I suppose I should have tried harder, but I was getting frustrated and
went with the nail in the wall looking for a stud thing that Oren
mentioned. It turned out there wasn't a stud. I have to hand 2 more
shelves, so maybe I'll actually get lucky and find one this time.


There is a smart phone App. Not having one I just use a nail.

Another method, quite good. He uses a screw in lieu of a nail.
