Jigsaw and caulk.

Is that a Billy bookcase? I did one with a fine tooth handsaw and tape to stop it tearing.

With a bit of persistence you can cut the chipboard with a Stanley knife. Failing that, a hacksaw

Or be like me (an idiot ) who took a chisel and hammer to the skirtings ! 🤣
-
What would you do?
Tape with blue masking tape.
Put the other half on top and draw the curve and line.
Use a fine tooth hacksaw to cut the pink lines, then the red line, then the blue line and file to the green line.
Caulk.

This cutout on a bookcase is meant to clear the skirting board but doesn't. Needs to be another 3cm higher.
We could lift the bookcase by 3cm using legs or sticking a 3cm thick board under it or we could cut the groove higher. I don't have any router or funky cutting tools and a hand saw will butcher it.
What would you do? Tempted to find a carpenter or someone with a router to just buzz the four ends so it fits but how much is that likely to cost?
