@ afriendofbean The man playing the lumberjack's name is Odmund Arnesen (1921-1989). He did lighting for Sesame Street in the late 70's (and I think early 80's) the actor who was supposed to be there that day didn't show, so they stuck him in front of the camera. He is my grandfather.
I preffer the real trees falling down instead of the matchstick for a new remake.

I rememba these "timber" ones. They inspired my friends & I to play "lumberjacks" in the bush & yell "Timber!"

Is this lumberjack played by actor John Vernon? He looks a little bit like John Vernon.

The guy reminds me of Stan Laurel at the end there. The expression and his whole reaction is similar. Not exactly identical, but similar. Great clip.

That's true, and he also looks like actor John Vernon.

LOL I remember this clip, do you have the other one of the tree going back upright after it is cut down?

Yeah, that's my favorite of the series too, when the tree springs back up after being chopped down!

I do, maybe I can put it up eventually if no one else does (my time for making vids is limited)

If you do that'd be awesome. If it takes you time to get it up I can be patient and wait ;-) Thanks again!

I remember this one. I now wonder if this was a subconscious inspiration for one of my photos.
I didn't have a title for it until now.
Replace the * with the 't' and '.'

LOL! I don't remember that one. Sometimes I wonder what was the point to some of those clips.
