I’m looking to build shelves beside my fireplace but need to trim my mantel width down to accomodate them.
I have access to a circular saw, a reciprocating saw and a jig saw. I could also get a router if needed.
This is from a diy website but they had this part done by a professional. I’m just curious how you would go about cutting this. What tools should I use?
I would do it from the top (flat) with a guide. I would probably start with a circular saw, go until the front bumps the wall and finish the last parts with another tool. This allows the front and top to look straight which is all you’ll see
Thank you! I’ll give this a shot
