What happens here

The project begins with cutting the main wooden pieces for the mantel. Using a speed square to ensure precise 90-degree cuts, the craftsman uses a circular saw to trim the ends of a long wooden board. This board will form the top and front face of the hollow mantel. Repeat the process for all necessary pieces, ensuring clean and accurate dimensions.

Goal: Prepare the main wooden components for the mantel
