Would you like to show your students a comprehensive look at the logging process from beginning to end, step-by-step, that not only would give them valuable information but would keep them glued to the screen for the entire program? Timberrr! From Logs to Lumber is a fascinating adventure at a Northwoods Sawmill near Crivitz, Wisconsin. Using a host, Mac, who is constantly getting into trouble as he helps the lumberjacks operate heavy machinery, this video provides complete information in a humorous and entertaining way. Don’t expect talking heads giving facts and figures. Do expect disaster as Mac attempts to load logs, drive a forklift, and get himself into many other “situations.” However, the real stars of the video are the machines which cut, stack, haul, and turn logs into lumber products used in home building and construction. Watch as giant machines harvest trees...one huge machine does it all—cuts, de-limbs, and stacks the logs. Kids of all ages love to watch how heavy machinery works and this video has it all...skidders, loaders, forklifts, and heavy trucks! So...if you’re searching for something different...perhaps an entertaining and humorous look at a vital American industry is for you in Timberrr! From Logs to Lumber! (26 minutes)
