    Hi all;

    has anybody attempted to self trim Timber Blinds.

    How hard can it be?

    Mitre Box, Clamp, Fine coping Saw & Sealant for the ends!

    Just wondering

    Regards
    Daryl

    Hi Daryl,

    Spot on!  I've done this a few times.

    What i did was simply close the blind fully  and taped the ends up with tape to hold them tightly together. then simply cut them with a circular saw. It would probably neater with a hacksaw or timber saw.

    Then i stained the ends of them. 

    Depends how much you need to cut off them, it gets a bit tricky if you need to cut the head of them.

    Hope this helps
