I admire these men who work in this field and I admire the old hard tech equipment...built to be used and to probably last longer than newer and more tech equipment of these days. Not many men would work in the mud like this and they were born with strong backs and a sense of doing a good job that doesn't require their thumbs or a screen to look at. My hats off to these fellows.
It feels like you're judging people working behind screens with their thumbs .. the same ones that allowed you to see the video on internet and post that comment.. just saying ;)
@@shots2 nah it's not judgemental, it is actually fact that at least 65% or more of americans are obese and can definitely not fit in a hole of this size much less work around in it. It would be hilarious to see them try tho. Like fat three stooges 😂
Experienced, hard working crew, with some simple but very specific and effective equipment. These guys did a fantastic job. I could tell they have done this before. Well done !!
It also made me realize how intelligent and cooperative species we are when we are not divided. These guys did an AMAZING job :O How do you make sure, though, that this water isnt polluted with agricultural pesticides ? Do you then have to filter it once You get it out ? Can somebody tell me please?
Case when people have knowledge! That machine is DIY and it is amazing. So much simple brilliant solution's! Respect! Veliki pozdrav za zemljake, da nas nema trebalo bi nas izmisliti ;)
theese guys are great. they have the spirit of freedom from government to do anything.This is what the world needs. Thank you and may GOD bless you all:)
Love the generation on ingenuity and making things WORK with what you have and some plan old-time engineering...All the best...Blessing on your well may she produce sweet water for you for many decades
We had a hand dug well in the 1940 over 60 ft or over18 meters it was dug square about 4 ft x4 ft, or 1.2 meters and later installed round culverts In Mississippi , good luck with your weIl and I thoroughly enjoyed your u tube. Walt
Well done sir! And by the way, at my house, it has a 25m deep well. Crystalline water. Last time I measured I have at least 2 meter (at the water level) for a 1m diameter. Water is a blessing.
Yeah you can buy a drilling rig for about 200k with truck and all or build your own with an old axle and a cage and winch for about 3k and have the same results. Genius!!! Good job guys! Love to see the enginuity of humans
Damn! You dig the hole put all that pipe in then you got to dig another hole around the pipe to paint it? That’s a lot of digging! In seriousness, is the reason for the almost 1 m pipe so you have a reservoir of water in the bottom that you use in your home, garden, or wherever? I’m a city guy so this is really a marvel to me. That is really a work of art. You should be really proud of that. Even the way you heaped the dirt and rocks around the top. I’m sorry Semir, you answered my question farther down.
Hi! Very impressive video! I was wondering if you made or bought the machine that dug out the hole for the well. If you can please share the name or how to make it, that’d be great! Thanks!
Fascinating. I love to see people who GET IT DONE. Ingenuity prevails. A split 55 gallon drum with cut and bent "drill ends." That's some good stuff. I don't think OSHA would dig it too much, but if OSHA was there, you all would have died of dehydration. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Great video! You guys do septic systems? :)
There was a guy here in Texas who was always drilling wells, installing septic systems, and moving houses. I’m not sure how many times he was busted and kept on digging, trying to hurry before this snitch in a Cessna plane that flys around stalking people rats him out. An outlaw septic system installer in his own right, he was a good and honest man.
Hardworking guys, and a very interesting drilling machine. But the concrete and bitumen will slowly contaminate the water. Also, no isolation along outer length of well means surface water will contaminate the ground water. Not for human drinking. Good for animals and garden.
I need to dig a well at my place in the Philippines and would like to do it myself. I have been looking at different drill rigs to get an idea of building something myself. I like this design too. Hope to see more of the machine sometime.
I don't like that home made mashin. Lubrication system is very hazard, contaminated water. But I like my hard working slavs from Balkan, pozdrav iz Švajcarske.
THE MACHINE IS GREAT. IN SOME PLACES WELLS MUST BE WIDE TO FACILITATE RECOVERY RATE . IN THE USA WE DRILL MAINLY 4" WELLS INTO THE AQUIFER DEEP. RECOVERY IS GOOD. IN OLD TIMES WE HAND DUG WIDE SHALLOW WELLS.
That was a cool project and it makes me want to do something similar. But here in Germany it will be expensive, because most people don't know how to do this on your own without commercial/expert help and most so called "friends" don't want to spend so much time to help you with such a physical hard and muddy task. Most Germans have forgotten to do something with their own hands.
@Peter Silie, thank you for comment. It is possible to do it alone if the soil/ground is clay or sand. I made almost 6 meters in deep using some handmade tools and when I hit the pebble I could not go deeper. Some of my friends made their own wells with hammering metal 5/4 pipe in to the ground up to 9 meters, but in sand area mostly.
blue clay? i would find it hard to believe there is such a thing. but i do because i have some under the ground where i live in perth, western australia. it fades when you leave a piece of it in the sun. because it fades i suspect it is caused by bacteria or fungus. i found this very interesting. that tar coating you put on may not last for very long. may i suggest using a mixture of cement, sand and silica fume for a stronger, longer lasting and more water-resistant coating
@vsv nrg, It was also interesting to see it and it is not completely blue as you can see in the video. The workers just called it "blue" and I hope it is not some kind of poison, we are all alive after almost 3 years. We using water for all except for drinking, still buying bottled water.
@@semir_ramic , the blue clay here is a blue-green colour. the clay above it is brownish and the clay below it is brownish too. i'm sure the blue clay is only as poisonous as normal brown clay. and that wont be poisonous.
I really liked what you guys did here,job well done 👍🇺🇸. One personal thing though,confused by the clay and rocks piled around the top...the trench you dug around the top,I just knew you were going to pour concrete to seal and protect from rain and other weather hazards...just me and what I would have done,am I micro managing it?
Hi Ellis, cool name by the way. It is only clay and water, I want to decrease permeability as much as I can, the one layer of hydroinsulation is on the tubes and the clay and water is just additional one and it is free. IT is just a way to force the ground to stick to the tubes soon as possible.
Hey there, tough and great job done. I have a question. Why so much wide concrete well while 4 or 5 or 6 inches tube-well can fulfill the need and are very popular nowadays? Why
Hi Surya, thanks for comment and positive feed back. As I mentioned in video description I tried to dug by myself using some hand tools but because of large pebble I culdnt reach necessary depth. We have also many companies here in our country who drills the well using modern machines with smaller diameters and also with possibilities to dig much deeper, but they are to expensive for my wallet so I decide to call this "low budget" company. So the main reason is the money. All the best.
@Mark Mather, for now we dont because we are not drinking it and there is no any particles visible in water. Will see how it looks when we make laboratory tests. Thank you for watching Mark!
Very interesting method, but I wonder why the need for such a wide diameter well when all that's needed is a two inch pipe as a casing and a one inch tube for extraction via a centrifugal or peripheral pump. If drilling deeper than nine meters a larger diameter jacket or casing might be needed to accept a bottom ejector.
thats insane.. Never go down in any deep hole without the hole being protected from collapsing..People even die in a 2m hole sometimes or in a trench covered by dirt. BUT nice video and thanks for showing ups what you are doing, but i highly recommend to think about safety in the future ;-)
When in need of sandpaper holding block just buy one from Ace..last for ever .. much easier to replace worn out old paper or change to different sandpaper grit!!
My father dug a 50 foot well it was about the same diameter is the one in this video. He did it during the summer one year all by himself. He started off with the rota-teller tied to a pole that would automatically dig in a circular manner; chewing up the dirt. In the end it was a very good well in drought-ridden California but like many others was back-filled for children safety
Where in Turkey do you live? I lived in Izmir for two years and am trying to contact some of my Turkish friends, Methat Muftogolu and Hakan Ozkoy. They live in Alsenjak
So what the test results from the lab? In my farm town in the San Jaoquin Valley people shallow wells(7m) but we just water the lawn with it, drinking water comes from 150 meters, a town system.
Hi there, we didn’t test the water but when we do that I will publish results. For now we are using the water for everything in the house, lawn, greenhouse,etc except for drinking. Some houses in my place have very good water for drinking from shallow wells. And there is also one interesting well deep around 130meters with bubble water. Generally this area of Bosnia is “rich” with underground water only problem are an old city water networks, the government is slow in updating those things so the people need to solve problems on their own way.
It does not make any sense, since in the begining the drill fits nice and snug inside the well but then the well is much wider than the drill. How is that possible?
@Cezar Apolinario, than you probably need to watch the video one more time. I know my English is not so good but I think you will understand the process if you watch it again. Thank you anyway, cheers!!
@Joseph, many countries and also many areas had so called hydrogeological maps which shows the levels of underground water tables. In this area water is almost anywhere it has only slight difference in deep.
Hahahha Ned, good one. We can still use smaller bucket, or to open a whole top to push an extra big one. Luckily we have pumps now, but it is good to remember an old traditional methods. Thanks for comment.
Hi Akane, the reasone is because we don’t have city water in summer 3-4 months and sometimes even longer during the year, main reason is an old infrastructure of water network and bad capacity during dry periods. In part of city where I live almost every house have own well. Thanks for comment!
Interesting drilling machine! To my fellow Americans remember it wasn't to many years ago that we did some of the same things so quit with the "Your going to die" BS
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to avoid exposing that worker to the risk of subsidence meaning collapse of the earthen bore while he is in there? I am not criticizing! I just want to know if that is doable with that type of well. Slijedi Google prijevod. Nemam pojma koliko će vam to biti čitko. Može li mi netko reći postoji li način da se taj radnik ne izloži riziku od propadanja što znači propadanje zemljane provrta dok je on unutra? Ne kritikujem! Samo želim znati je li to moguće izvesti s takvom vrstom bunara. -- Tom Horne
@@hornetd Here in The southwest part of the USA wells can be 200 - 300 feet deep (60-90 meters) they usually drill a 6 or 8 inch hole and case it with PVC pipe 4,6, or 8 inches in diameter. Making the pipe joint connections as they lower each one in. Then after they will run the water pipe down into the well with a foot valve. (check valve)
@@hornetd the dude riding the pipe wasn't in any real danger the guy mudding the inside of the pipe was the injured one. handling mortar with bare hands causes long term damage to the skin resulting in the skin of the hands peeling often to the point of cracking and bleeding.
3rd generation driller here of over 45 years. .....very foolish to enter an open borehole. Not only that it could cave in...but the carbon monoxide from the drill engine will have been settling into the hole. Over the years hundreds have died by entering holes in that manner.
Hi George, I agree with you absolutely. The safety and life should be on first place, I hope they will not be that fate, they are working almost every day in summer, there is also possible to break the pockets with poison gases in the ground or something, very dangerous job.
While I do agree that it can and is dangerous, still, can you show me the stats on borehole deaths? From what I can find with various international data bases, less than one per year as long as that does not include mine accidents.
Good Job, I have one in my garden, about 100 Years old, Clay bricks for the wall, and as good as new. And watering my lawn at the moment. Only 30ft deep, but this is the UK and you only have to kick a stone to hit water. Hope yours give you as many years.
Whe i was a kid, im my grandparents house we used to pull out water from a waterhole like that, but suddently the mexican laws changed and forced everyone to close the waterholes and be connected to urban hydraulick network and pay bills forever , yes we all were deceived with the water lack shit, because now we know " whoever controls the water controls the world "
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 Folks are catching on, not so much the committed die-hard believers, though. It's all about "sunken cost", same issue that gambling addicts have - only instead of money, it's their time & belief they've tossed down the proverbial rat hole. They're heavily invested in the BS covid19 story they've been fed, & there's no real exit path that'll allow them to retain that all-important sense of having not been duped. Eventually they must either give it up or be swallowed by the lie.
Yes the title should be HEY you TUBERS someone doing a WELL for me,But was nice to see,i am wondering i have one well its about 11 meters deep but its all in stone wall stoned in the 50 i heard,waterier is done i would like to keep i am wondering i i can dig smaller diameter put rings on the new digging can anyone give me an idea ,the old digging its about close to TWO meters diameter also he have a mine horizontally at 11 meters deep about 10 meters longe parte or it the stoned too
