   demo hammer and a wide chisel..

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!

   Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

   The inside of the studs should be tight with each other,  the outside I measure what the start point of the 45 degree angle on the plates.   Usually 1-1/2 or around there then rip a stud at 45 degrees and pound it in. 

    

   What's wrong with me?  I could ask you the exact same thing.

   you could rip down 2x6 to make end studs with chamfered faces.  Use 67.5 as the angle for your faces and it should work out fine.  22.5 is the angle for for your plates.

   If I have the numbers wrong, someone will be by shortly to tell us ;-)

   Check out the drawing. Note how the offcut from the center 2x4 fills out the corner for solid nailing. Substitute regular lumber for the metal studs.
