I would doubt you'd get a presentable finish with a jigsaw.
At minimum, you'd need:
- Measuring equipment / square
- Circular saw
- Clamps / glue
- Jointing jig (dowel / biscuit etc)
- Chisel / hammer for the hinges
- Drill + bits for the handles
- RO sander / hand sanding blocks
- Paint - primer, top coat & associate brushes / rollers etc
If you're thinking of hiding the Beam in there, you'd need some acoustically transparent material to go on the front.
- Measuring equipment / square

Why have doors to floor level?
Remove middle shelf and cut 18mm off the back, refit.Measure opening for doors from top of skirting to bottom of top shelf. Divide width by 2 and adjust dimension for any gaps you want, 3mm is good.
Go to b&q. Buy a half sheet of MDF and ask them to cut to the size of your two doors.
Buy recess cabinet hinges and appropriate drillbit.
Paint.
Fit.
People who carve slots in skirting are the devil.

Had to make a guess at the size but somewhere like this would do a pair of doors with hinge holes for about £60...

@Nelly
How easy would it be to add cupboard doors to some framed alcove shelving? Ideally flush with the existing shelves. They run floor to ceiling and I need somewhere to hide wires!
Was hoping this was straight forward but the two quotes I’ve had start at £1k. Making me wonder how far wrong I could go with a jigsaw and some MDF
