This feels like a half-embarrassing question.. but whatever.
What is the most effective and stable way to fasten a horizontal beam to a vertically oriented one? (see the illustration below)

This is meant to represent a framework for a wall, straight from the front. So, how do you best attach the horizontal beams in the middle? Should I screw at 45 degrees towards the vertical beam, or? How many screws, etc.? Or should I use angle brackets? In short, how is it usually done "for real"?

Depending on how exactly you are going to use this stud (is it just a stud in an interior wall?), there are a few different solutions. If it's critical, use nail plates for reinforcement. Combine it by sinking them into the vertical studs (just kidding).
I'm voting for nail plates, without making it more complicated than that. But of course... it depends on what you are going to do. What are you going to do?

It will be a partition wall. And... actually, it's not just the studs in the middle that are involved, but the whole damn thing.
I tried screwing a stud at a 45-degree angle (slightly sunk screw) at the corresponding ends, but it didn't feel very stable. When I twist the stud, it moves. It doesn't look like 2 screws can fit next to each other without splitting the wood...
Looking at how they've constructed the frames in the house in general, everything is nailed with a ton of nails (70s standard). I would prefer to avoid nails.
It will be 45x45... I would have preferred 45x70, but it didn't work out. Oh well...

Hmm. Of course, I should have drywall, otherwise, it's quite pointless. :ByggaNytt said:I don't understand what you need the horizontal studs for?
Why not just frame with vertical studs and then slap on OSB/Plyfa, then drywall on each side, or am I completely off?
But.. The vertical studs need to be attached to the floor and ceiling joist.. my question is how to attach them in the best way, with screws. 2, 4, 6 screws? Screw them in at 45 degrees? Use bracket? How do I do it, simply put...!
The horizontal in the middle are so I can hang some heavier items on the wall, simply put.. but don't get hung up on them. The main question remains..
