Steam-Power Sawmill
Product Description The sawmill that time forgot: a fascinating documentary Beyond "how things work" ...this is how it was done. Kids and adults. Ever wondered how we do forest management to keep producing lumber without running out of wood. Explore modern logging and ancient technology in Steam-Power Sawmill An action-packed look at an industrial survivor. Presented in awesome 5.1 Dolby Surround-Sound. From the beautiful mountain peaks...through the lush forests...down to the stream-fed log pond of this rugged old sawmill...there has never been a documentary film quite like Steam-Power Sawmill. Mystified journalists didn't know what to expect: "I wasn't sure what to expect when I received this video, but I must rate it one of the more fascinating I have reviewed. It is fast-paced, informative, and educational. Great narration. Well done and entertaining." Heimberger Press, S Gaugian Magazine "Fascinating. The photography is nothing short of spectacular. A one-of-a-kind presentation well worth the price. This is a video to watch again and again." Live Steam Magazine Film Summary: Screaming machines, gut instinct, quick decisions... and steam power. This was once a part of American life. Hidden away in the lush forest of Oregon's Coastal Range is a 1930?s-era sawmill almost untouched by time. Every morning the steam whistle of the feisty Hull-Oakes Lumber Company echoes off the nearby trees. The vintage steam-powered equipment is again fired-up to process old-fashioned long and large timber of Douglas fir for the world market. Welcome to the world of the Steam-Power Sawmill...the last commercial mill still operating in all of North America. Explore all the details of this fascinating mill operation... from forest to freight car...from steam engines and boilers right down to the old "straddle-carriers" that scoot around the lumber yard. There are so many amazing little things to see. You?ll crawl underneath the mill where it looks like some kind of Gothic science-fiction machine out of a video game. You?ll venture out into the woods with the loggers for a first-hand look at forest operations. Thoroughly entertaining and educational. 117-minutes. This is an industrial-strength passport to another time?and another place. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. |
