If the job was complete why was he asking about the sledge hammer? Sounds like he was leveling after the job was finished. So, there were multiple finishes.

all those angles seem to be out by perhaps 4 or 5 degrees if you look at the top 3 at an angle you have a flat on the top stone a point on the bottom stone but the overall shape suggests the opposite should be the case
that level off job is fine iff you are charging about £8 an hour and level over visual is the important point
if you are learning, extra time to learn is at your expense with reduce quality
you then progress to twice as good for twice the price and a bit quicker
you then finnish at 10 times more accurate at 4 times the price per hour but 60% quicker cleaner and more efficient
I've lived a sheltered life, I didn't even know personalised door mats were a thing
He will not progress to be twice as good because he's a handy man and takes on large variety of jobs. Getting good in a meaningful way is only possible if he becomes specialised and do the same type of job over and over. Levelling after laying out should be fine for an occasional job.

Can we all pay some respect to the wardrobe fiasco?

Cutting down a wardrobe?
Got a wardrobe which is too high for room it's going in. If I cut the doors and sides down by 300mm then put it together (think it might be a flat pack) will it fall apart?

i personally dont like to discourage any one i think its up to the people concerned learn there own lessons
too much negative just turns to white noise its up to freinds and family to be honest when things are getting out off hand

OK. RESPECT!
Respect to the wardrobe!
Said that and going back to the current project: get a chainsaw and, with the door closed, cut a bit of the bottom.
It'll be perfect, I promise.

I think a blunt axe would also get the results kettle delivers for his *paying and unsuspecting clients*
So is fair game for ridicule. Perpetuating the stereotype of dodgy "Bill Durrs" ...
Blunt axe would work just fine, but it would take a bit longer.
Chainsaw would be my preferred tool for this task.
How do you know it was a fiasco? He did not provide any after-photos. Good chance he got the job done and moved on.
Imagine you were the customer and you bought a wardrobe too tall and no way to return it, what would you have done with it? No one else would have wanted these odd jobs and it was fortunate for the customer the OP's services are available. No matter what the OP did with it, the customer would not have lost more than the loss of buying something that could not be used.
Got to admit that the cut was "very slightly" out of line...
Doesn't matter. He was buying front panel wood to cover that up. He even bought the moulding. He cared about the details.
You probably don't do DIY. One major drawback DIYers have is we lack precision tools. Being wonky is not unusual even for pro's. I spent a lot of time fixing up "pro" jobs. I recent bought a new kitchen. When the units arrived, it was 30cm shorter. Explain that!
