Just finished this slide show using a program called movie maker. The program came with my laptop but i think its a free download. Very simple to use. To download the slideshow to youtube or facebook the music must have no copyrights.
Please enjoy.

Great slide show. It couldn't have been any better even if I had done it myself. ;)
I would think it would answer any apprehensive questions that a potential customer might have.
Lovely work, as usual, Kody. (Music is annoying, IMO)

Originally the video was paired with Bob Marley's, Stir It Up. And I thought it was very cool. Rose said it was annoying. And Youtube and facebook said it was copyright infringement. They were both animated about it. Even threatening to kick me off their sites. Yikes!
So I went to a copyright free music web sites. Most of it is electronic synthesized stuff and experimental. The music I chose was categorized under classical. Its an original piece. It takes a while to go through all that's available. But I'll keep looking.
Thanks for the positive criticism. I'd like to get it right before I post it on facebook.
I prefer to study photographs in silence. It's easier to concentrate. I am someone who believes that not everything in life requires a soundtrack.

Now that I would have found distracting. With the volume turned down to a "background" level I found the classical a nice accompaniment to the slide show.
Very interesting pieces done very well BTW.
Loved the slide show. When I grow up as an upholsterer ; ) , I hope my work looks half as good as yours.
As far as the music, my tower in Sew & Sew land does not have speakers on it currently, so I was not bothered by your selection at all.

Maybe you should add some verbal audio, such as:
"And here's a chair that still has part of my finger stapled inside...............here's one that the customer called every day nagging me until I got it done............and here's one that the !!@# SOB never paid for!"

Too funny!!!

That thought had me laughing, too.
Great video! Background music is difficult, I think mostly because good music for "free use" is difficult to find. In my videos I use an assortment of different tracks to cover up even more annoying machine noise.
I've always enjoyed your videos Mike. How's the bus going?
Sofa, after a day like today that would be real easy to do. A pair of wing chairs are giving me a fit.

The fabric is Sunbrella. Rose used to do all the sewing but for the last two years I've been doing most of it. The time goes by much to fast. It can be aggravating.
Great video KodyD. The music is great. What I get the most out of your video is the impression of quality.
I think something like this video will also help to turn away 'tire kickers' who think reuholstering a sofa is a few hour task and don't mind spending your time trying to convince you of that 'fact'.
