How would you make this cut?
(sh.itjust.works)
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?
Update: success friends!! Thank you to those who recommended the multitool- it's making life so much easier to take the trim off too.
This photo is pre-sanding- the entire side will be covered by bookshelf, and any gaps will be filled/painted. I also realized that we can use the mantle in our case to run wires through too- which will make everything much easier (I won't need to step the bookshelf out from the wall with furring strips).
Thanks again!!
