(2006) This 60 minute documentary movie features Gordon Manning, of Sutton, NH, one of the few sawyers left in New England who still knows the craft of running the old 19th century circular-saw mills. Gordon’s mill was built around 1890 by the Lane Co. of Vermont which, at the time, was one of the major sawmill manufacturers in the Northeast. The film begins as Gordon fells trees, hauls logs to his mill and saws them into boards. He talks about his life and the craft of sawing, and then tours a modern high-tech sawmill as well as the State of NH's Taylor Sawmill, a restored 1820s water-powered "up-and-down" mill in Derry NH.
Filmed, edited and produced by George Packard
Music by The Mink Hills Band
