I've bought a wooden blind from Ikea which is marginally too wide at
the bottom of the kitchen window as I forgot about the tiles we'd
fitted!

To trim it by approx 1cm on each side can I simply stick them
together using tape and cut using a hand saw?

Ikea have a gadget for trimming aluminium blinds but not wooden which
are about 1-2mm thick.


I did the same thing but used a jig saw which my brother in law had
used before me on the same thing. The results in both cases was
perfect. Not too sure about a hand saw though, unless you can saw
very straight and neat.

Huh! you could file a 1cm off.

But why when you can more easily saw it off?
