Hi. We are trying to fit an architrave. Both of the walls are with a bit on an angle and the wall on the right is so close that even the smallest architrave is too big. Plese help
It looks from the pictures as if you only have the thickness of the door casing before you hit the wall. I would run a piece of architrave across the top (no mitre, and simply paint the door casing at the sides.
The normal approach is to cut, mitre then rip down the remaining architrave leg using a hand saw, circular saw or jigsaw. I tend to put these trapped legs in first because it allows me to scribe to the wall and do any trimming with a block plane without the need to deal with a trapped mitre which is always awkward

Probably, yes.The only time I wouldn't would be on plain square edged or finger round architrave and there I would still use a scribed strip unless the strip was less than about 10mm.
