So we have our first official entry in this challenge ;) Thanks Marc for sharing the videos here on LumberJocks.
I hope this will encourage you to record your own shop tour episode during the next 2 weekends…

as I don’t have a video camera I’ve had to be creative as to how to get the video.
I have a Mac and it has built-in iSight and I just carried the laptop around, creating the video. Very awkward but it worked.
Another option is that many digital cameras have the little video option on them. Not sure how you get 3 min. out of it but where there’s a will… there’s a way

Thanks to everybody for posting the shop tour videos so far. We already have 8 entries and still one week to go.
And now we’re adding even more prizes – another two random winners will get LJ/TWW shirt from me plus Furnitology DVD and TWW Coffee Mug from Marc.
I know that the prizes are not the main motivator in this Challenge but they are a nice bonus for sure ;) so keep posting and enjoy the videos!

Well, I could not resist, my shop tour video has been added to the group as well.
I did not clean the shop, but I wanted to have it appear as I see, being used and not a show place, even though a lot want to see it in any state.
Thanks for having an opportunity to show off
