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?

    This is the answer. You can also screw a block to the top and use that to keep the multi tool blade straight. Gives a couple of holes to sort on the top but a much less work straightening up the edge.

        Look up the blue tape and super glue trick and you can save yourself from filling holes.
