Gap between door frame and door trim.
That's exactly how I've done it, as can be seen in the photo aboveG Geschwindt said:I would have gotten a white joint strip (8x30mm) and split it in half so you keep the rounding, split it down if necessary. Then insert it into the gap and let it protrude 4 mm on the frame so it becomes a transition, instead of some impossible seam that has to be handled with putty and paint..

I would buy a regular planed board, 22mm thick, and split a narrow piece with the right thickness to glue onto the frame. However, with only a handsaw as a tool, it is quite a hopeless task. Almost as hopeless as sawing trim with a handsaw.

I think many people miss that if TS places a visible list, he has other doors without.
I would try to find a filler piece and adapt it to the gap so that it becomes an extension of the trim, alternatively good old filler and paint.

Missed your answers. But as I wrote above, it's really only the part above the door, where they put in plaster, that sticks out over the door frame so much that a large gap occurs. I need to dig out the plaster somehow.
My problem now is cutting 45-degree door trim so that they fit together...
..I just discovered a miter box
