What happens here

With the precise markings made, the next step is to carefully cut out the sections for the electrical panel and outlet. The creator uses an oscillating multi-tool to make these intricate cuts. This tool is ideal for plunge cuts and precise shaping in wood. Once the cuts are complete, the plank is test-fitted to ensure it perfectly surrounds the electrical panel. After confirming a perfect fit, the plank is secured to the wall using the finish nailer, ensuring it is flush and level with the surrounding boards. This process is repeated for any other obstacles on the wall.
