Les Paul inspired single cut guitar build. Part 1 of 5.

M I Tarr Guitars. PART 1 of 5. A Guitar building Documentary of a Les Paul style of guitar.
The documentary is a fly on the wall day to day working life of Music Tutor/Luthier and Photographer Michael Tarr. The Ex British Steel Electrical Engineer working from his home Workshop and Studio with his Grandchildren in South Wales, United Kingdom.
No explanation or narration is need, just watch and I hope you enjoy the film.
I film my guitar making progress to give enjoyment to other's with an interest in guitars. And for my Children and Grandchildren.
PLEASE NOTE.... There is more than one way to do any of the processes in building a guitar. Do what works for you and the tools/equipment you have to hand.
Also Please Note. All Health and Safety equipment were in place and used when making this documentary. If removed it was only for filming purpose. Many Thanks Mike Tarr.

Merhaba Abdülkadir. Filmlerimden keyif almanıza ve kendi dükkânınızı açmak için biraz ilham ve cesaret almanıza çok sevindim. Yorum için teşekkür ederim çok değerli. Tek bir şey var, kendimi yaşlı bir adam olarak görmüyorum, ama ruhum çok genç. Tahminimce Türkiye'densiniz, en sevdiğim ülke, birçok kez orada bulunduk ve güzel insanlarla harika anılar biriktirdik. Ben size Mutlu Noeller ve Mutlu Yıllar. Best wish Abdulkadir. from South Wales Mike.
