Hi guys,

I got new carpets fitted. As a result I need to shorten two internal
doors by *about* 1cm.

What is the best way to do this? I have a DIY book (don't we all?)
that recommends using a manual plane.

I am a complete novice at carpentry - should I be trying this? What
tools should I be using? Etc etc

Cheers

Lawrence

Circular saw/batten method is quick and accurate. Google for details

Almost guaranteed at the very least to cause some damage to the doors and at
worse to remove the fingers of the admitted "complete novice".


Disagree on both counts. What damage could a straight cut with a sharp
blade do?
