What happens here
Once the majority of the waste material has been removed with the chisel, use an oscillating multi-tool fitted with a scraping or sanding attachment to clean up and level the bottom surface of the notch. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly flat and smooth surface, which ensures a tight, professional, and structurally sound fit for the joining beam.
Goal: Achieve a perfectly flat and smooth bottom surface for the notch.

- Oscillating Multi-Tool Makita — Smoothing and leveling the bottom surface of the notch
- Scraping Blade or Sanding Attachment — The specific attachment for the multi-tool used to clean and flatten the wood
