I have a garage door with a wooden frame. It's about 30 years old and
the bottom 6" of the frame have rotted at either side.

Is it's quite a major task to replace the frame I wish to do a swift
repair, something that'll last for another 5 or 10 years and look
cosmetically acceptable.

I thought about removing the bottom portion with a handsaw and fitting
a new piece of timber. Unfortunately, there is a metal strip screwed
to the back that also supports the door!

Has anyone got any clever ideas for cutting the wood without removing
the metal?

I think it's called a chisel ;^
