Architrave

To begin I started by putting on my PPE such as boots goggles and gloves to protect my skin and hands from any cuts or splinters that may occur making the architrave.
firstly i collected the materials that i would need to make the architrave frame, 2 long pieces of architrave size "1.3m+"
I began making the architrave at a height of 1.3m "door size 1220mm" and cut two pieces and cut them down to size to place on the sizes of the door "placed half way on the plaster and door frame"  i then marked out the header and cut to size.
and checked to see if it would all fit together after i checked i started cutting a 45* angle on the architrave and using a mitre saw i cut the architrave to size and nailed it in place, after i checked to make sure it was level "So it fitted nicely".

"after finishing architrave i carried on sanding"
