from the new gameplay video part 1

when the guy picks up the log and moves it onto a rack

can the player do that

"Wood mill; take a log from the pile (same animation for Dovahkiin as the dude seen doing it in the demo), when its on the track, pull the lever to the right and it moves down the track to the now moving saw, which slices it in half and it falls off the back onto a log pile; not sure what you do with it from there, there was a 'Press A: Activate' on the cut log, but pressing it told me there is no log in the mill."
