This video is just a run down of what I'm about to do over the next couple weeks. I'm new to posting videos but wanted to show how I found the best way to drill a water well by using what I had laying around. Ask all the question you want. Take from the videos what you can use and good luck on drilling your own well. I know that every DYI guy out there has doubts and questions on how to drill a...
Do you have drill stem inside the PVC pipe or does the pvc serve as the drill stem and drill case. Do you use the pvc that you are drilling with as your well casing when you are finished. What size pvc are you using. Are you willing to share information. I am in North East Texas, just above Dallas, on the Oklahoma border and am wanting to do my own water well. I worked in the oil fields, but worked as a gear box, pump jack and engine mechanic, so I know nothing of drilling. I am trying to gather as much information as I can before I attempt to get my feet wet. I machine my own parts and fabricate whatever I need since I retired 16 years ago.
Hello Otis, this a DIY project just to see if it would work. I’m drilling with 4” casing. No drill pipe. The idea of this was to overcome weight issues of building a high dollar rig to handle and to drill till I found a good water sand. With the perforated pipe already on the pipe and sealed off from the inside with a pipe I could retrieve and test the water without pulling out of the hole. The only two things I will change next time is buy a drag bit off of eBay and I will buy a swivel. I just posted this to give people ideas on how they can buy stuff from big box stores to get a well drilling without spending $20k. I’m sure you will have lots of fun on this project.
I explain how I’m doing it in the other videos. It’s worth a watch. I’m not monetizing so my only benefit is helping people out
@@jasongrinnell1986 thank you for your reply. I watched all of your well drilling videos, very interesting. I saw one where you had a bunch of galvanized pipe sitting next to your casing, so I wasn't sure if you were using it as an inner and outer stem casing setup. Would it be ok if I checked back with you when I get started ??? This will be something that I will start in the spring. I will make the rig machine this fall and winter, except that I will be using a 90 degree worm drive gear box with a dedicated engine on a hinge for the mast to lay down. I noticed your guide for your auger motor is for a barn sliding door and your mast is made of perlins. What length pipe are you using and how long are the perlins. What are your thoughts about having this setup mounted to the back of an old pickup truck. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my message
Where I am located, we are right on top of the Ogalalla aquifer. My top soil is Black Clay and there is limestone at various depths. Im not sure without seeing a USGS map, but I think the aquifer sits around 600 ft deep where I am at, but I am in an area with many springs. Did you use dowsing rods to determine where you decided to drill. Where I am at is all farm land. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my original message
Hello Otis, I made a few other videos that explained how I was drilling the well and why I was drilling it the way o was. But in a nutshell shell I drilled the hole using 4” sch 40 pipe as my drill pipe with the screen on bottom. I show in a video how I was able to drill with the screen on the end and open it up to allow water to flow in at the completion of the well. The tricone bit was a sacrificial bit that I left on the bottom of the well. As far as inspection of the bit I would have never damaged it with my set up.
What kind of drill pipe are you using. Is it just galvanized irrigation pipe or is it regular drill stem. Why are you using a casing over the drill pipe/stem. Is your tricone sealed bearing or open bearing. How often do you remove the drill bit to clean and inspect it. My name is Otis and I am going considered doing what you are doing or have done, being that this video is older now. How much did you invest initially to do your drilling, before you made your portable rig ??? I am seeking information. I thank you in advance for all that you have provided already.
Do you have an update? Show us how far down you drilled, pump size, water quality, flow rate etc.
Redneck Paradise. Great video.
How can I find the gearbox your talking about or is it a standard gearbox that comes from the factory on the auger?
The gearbox is on the auger. Good luck
@@jasongrinnell1986 thank you sir
Awesome 👍😎
Thanks ✌️
Sweet video😊
Well thank you!
I subscribed to you channel. I look forward to seeing y’all’s adventure.
@@jasongrinnell1986 Thank you, yes many more to come. 👍😁
It is also VERY IMPORTANT to locate a boat near a LOW LABOR COST AREA, if you don't have e a lot of money, like Mexico! I am a 100% Service Connected Disabled U.S. Vet. SO FINDING AN EXTREMELY CHEAP LABOR MARKET IS SO BEYOND IMPORTANT!
Always sitting down!! What’s up man?!
Lol! Man not much. How are you doing?
Thanks for the videos, trying to get a swivel, I tried to find the video that have more in depth how to make the swivel. Please if you can point the video would be very helpful.
I show more in Episode-3.
Hi Jason,, Thanks for the well drilling setup of yours. Am in the process of doing this here where we live. Here you hit water about 15 feet down. Am starting to do mine by hand... Am going to do in steps,,, 1", 2" and 4"... Sounds like a pain,,,,but not in a big hurry to get it done,,, not sure if this makes it any easier in the long run. Like your water swivel setup.. Is the water swivel working OK,,for you,,,We had a new sump pump sitting in basement and am using this for water blaster,,,but is only 1/4 HP...Have a 1 HP ordered. This sump will completely quit pump once the drill rod get a clay plug into it,,,it will eventually work it out,,,but take a long time,,,Am hoping my heavier pump,,,will at least cut down on having to wait to clear the plugged drill rod/bit. You are set up,,,you could do a well or two,,on a weekend for some extra green stamps,,,huh?... Thanks again
Hey, glad you got a little use out of my videos. Surprisingly the swivel work very good. Not the most professional but it did the job. Sounds like a little bigger pump might be needed depending how far you plan to drill. Thank for sharing your set up and good luck.
@@jasongrinnell1986 , Jason,,,Do you remember what you used for the tubing part of your water swivel. I don't think you said in the video, I would like to maybe try and replicate what you made.just as a project . All this kind of stuff has gotten so stink'n expensive by the time you make umpteen trips to Lowes,,,,here we have Menard's ,,which is great for this kind of stuff, Thanks
Top drive? You must be a roughneck like me. Odessa Texas.
I did 23 years. Worked from lead tongs to drilling and did last 8 years directional driller. This fall I’m going to drill 3 more water wells or plan to anyways. Plan on making some more videos.
@@jasongrinnell1986 on a rig since I was 6 back in 1960. Spent all summer there. Parker 16 my dad was pusher. Standard Derrick west of Fort Stockton. Gas wells.
Do you have any ideas a out how to clean up this hardware in west Texas? Or know someone who has figured it out economically? My brother's a ranch/farm in the Seminole draw (24 sections). His water has 3600 ppm of calcium, lime, gypsum, salt. Hell! It is pretty bad. Trees don't even like it.
Hard water? Not hardware. Damn spell unchecker.
Where are you located. I hear southern accent. Is the well performing good after 2 years. How many gallons per minute does it produce. What level did you finally drill to
I from Texas. The well is doing good but still has a little bit of iron in it. Only got a foot or two into the good water when I had to clean my pits out and I got stuck. Measured depth was 202’ and was just starting to see the fine white sand I was looking for. Pumping 8 to 10 GPM non stop. It was just for fun for me to drill and plans to come cocked and loaded for bear on the next one. I’ll make a couple videos on it. Found some interesting bit options I want to try.
@@jasongrinnell1986 cool. I am north of Dallas and west of Bonham. I purchased a gas digger just to try and make my own well. We have a lot of lime stone and black land here. When I start my well next week, hopefully it will not be in too hot and way too much lime stone. I am going to need a lot of patience and hopefully I will prevail. I am going to try to drill my bore hole dry, because of how deep the water table might or might not bee. Thank you for some very interesting videos. -Otis-
@@otisdavies1861 I wish you all the luck. With time an patients you will get your well drilled. Not sure the depth of the water there. Existing wells around you are public record. And gives you depth of formation as you drill.
@@otisdavies1861 www.tceq.texas.gov/gis/waterwellview.html
I’m really into your rig! But my question is how does the head cap not twist on the 4” pipe as it turns? And do you put it all back out to get your bit back after putting all that 4” pipe in the ground?
It’s a swivel that I built and it is fastened to the auger. Where the inlet pipe comes out. No I did not pull it out to get the bit. My next well I drill I will pull it out. Hopefully this fall. Won’t do that again in the summer. 😂
Great video I want to try this. Would you suggest I build a bit or purchase one from eBay?
Thank You! I’m gonna purchase one on e-bay.

Could you possibly describe what you used for a seal around the top of the first rubber reducer through which the main drill shaft passes to make up the rotary joint?
ruclips.net/video/0CqfEoO0qQ4/видео.html
I’m finding parts acquisition the hardest part. Where did you get the ribbed rubber pieces that go through the flexible, black reducer?
At Lowes or Home Depot.
It’s sewer and drain fittings.
Finally i know what i want to do when I grow up. I'm impressed that is a fine rig your working with sir, i appreciate the content. I'm gonna go back and watch your previous uploads as i am interested in learning more about your process. Especially keen to find out whats on the cutting end. Do you happen to recall giving a peak at your drill head bit in any of your previous videos? Thanks again.
Lol! I’m glad I could inspire. Yes I did show the bit and even built a bit that only drilled just a little bit. That is the whole fun of it I guess trying a thought. I plan on purchasing a bit on e-bay that will drill a lot faster. I hope you enjoy and most of I hope you drill a hole in the ground.
Can you please suggest the bit you plan on getting from eBay? Thanks
@@georgep.8478 I’m going with a friction bit. Like one you can get off E-bay. The roller cone bit Needs weight and lots of it. It is a crushing bit for drilling through the tuffest rocks and pyrites. I’m thinking of making the rig 25’ to handle 20’ PVC pipe. I have not decided yet. It will certainly make things more complicated. Another well is coming soon.
Thanks for the response. Trying to dig a well myself. I can't wait to see your next video and hopefully learn from your experience.
Jason, I am disappointed to see that I can't find the video of you actually drilling the well. It was the one that was sped up, and you were sitting in a chair while drilling. Is there any way to see that again?
I’ll post it again, someone was claiming right to my video and said their song was in it. In fact it was just the water pump running. I tried to fight it but RUclips apparently does not care about videos and views. Give me a couple days and I’ll have it back up. Thanks for reaching out. I do plan on drilling another well the same way. And I will try to be more in depth.
I came across this video and you explanations caught my attention . I live in Germany and you will excuse me for my English
Thank you for watching. I hope the video helps you.
Bad ass brother man
Thank you bud
this is wild. 4" pvc drill stem? attached with four screws below the swivel? impressive.
Yes it even impressed me. I had been thinking about this for awhile and decided to go for it. I do plan on doing it again this summer I hope. It’s hard to get everything I need right now.
I love watching hard working and smart people. Thank you for the video👍👍👍
Lol, I’ll take it. Thanks for watching
Thanks for your well drilling videos, I'm gathering items to start a similar rig as well. We should only have to go down 90'. I got a tricone bit for cheap but the cones are seized up I think, should you be able to roll them by hand a bit? Looks to have the grease port with snap ring and a 3/4 covering metal cap over the snap ring. Any idea how to get in there? Thinking of soaking it in penetrating oil then re-greasing it if possible. Was thinking of buying 1 1/4" galvanized pipe with a welded 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" reducer on the tricone bit, then reuse the 1 1/4" pipe for a submersible pump, think that pipe should drill/flow fine if we're only going to 90'?
Hey! Thanks for watching. Do not take those snap rings off. That bit it worth more to you locked up than taking those snap rings out. The reason I say this is because a tricone bit is made for weight to drill the hardest of formations. Without the weight it’s just sitting there spinning. I experienced that the lighter weight with the cones not turning drilled the fastest. I plan on using a friction bit on the next one cause I have the clutch in the motor to stall if I get too big of a bite and not break the PVC pipe. I hope this helps and good luck on your well. Remember, have fun.
Yes 90’ will be fine with 1 1/4” pipe. I started having trouble about 150’ of drilling with 3/4” pipe. Flow wise that is.
@@jasongrinnell1986 Thanks for the info! That's really helpful. Ya have a similar 43cc auger so that should work. I'm definitely having fun!
Jason, I watched all of your well drilling Videos. I have to admit, I had my doubts about your idea of using using 4" PVC as drill pipe. I have to eat some crow, your design and methods were quite brilliant. And I was quite impressed about how you worked through the problems. I want to build a drill rig using a simular design to the one you made. After watching your videos, I watched some that Rc Craford had also posted on RUclips. He also uses PVC pipe also from 2" to 20". He uses some different methods that I has never seen before. He floods the water down the outside of the pipe and installs a small air line down to the bottom on the inside of the casing. His drive pipe has a large hole in it at the top of the casing where all the rocks and cuttings come boiling out with the water and air. It is quite a mess during operation, but seems to work quite well. He helped many people in developing countries install wells using simular equipment to what you have designed, just a little twist on the methods. I know you were really shooting for a 320' well. Check out Rc Craford's channel, It might give you some ideas. I know that you inspired me to give it s try some day soon. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank you for watching. I will have to go check out his videos. I’m kind of curious as to how he was drilling his well. As to my next well I drill when the world turns to normal. I have found a drag bit that should drill lots faster and push the limits to the 4” PVC pipe. I’m confident that the PVC pipe will hold up. 320’ was my goal but anything from 230’ to 320’ would have worked just fine. I’ll just have to regroup and try again and shoot some better video.
ruclips.net/video/gqhFixr0TiY/видео.html
Do you think you could type up a list and assembly instructions for the connection to the auger and how the water is pumped down?
Thanks for watching. Check out my other videos for loads of information. Good luck and happy drilling.
@@jasongrinnell1986 ok ty
I went down 35 feet and pipe got stuck. Used 700 gallons of water before it started coming out of the pipe. Run rebar down to the bit and finally got the pipe back out. Wondering if the water flow was to slow. Wondering where did all the water went. The well was 6 inches and 35 feet deep. Need help
What kind of pump are you using?
If lost that much water, the ground may be fractured.
I was pumping around 150 gallons a minute. That was one of the reasons why I went with the 4” pipe.
@@jasongrinnell1986 using electric water pump. 1/3 HP pump with 1" water hose going down on 1" swivel.
It's called "lost circulation" porous ground. Or hell, maybe Carlbad Caverns.
how'd you make the water swivel?
Thanks for watching DrMoto. I have a few other videos that go more in depth.
I respect your honesty is just a set back not a failure now I know what to expect
Yes! This was mostly fun for me and experimenting with an idea I had.
I see you got the bit out but I don't understand why you started a new hole.
Well i kinda dropped a pipe wrench in the whole. 🧑🏻🔧
@@jasongrinnell1986 Magnet!
I'm guessing that as your drilling if you decide to stop you pull up one section of pipe so that as stuff settles it doesn't settle around the bit and lock it in. You may also stop the auger and just let the water flow at times to clear the hole out.
Yes that’s how I do it. When I stopped for the night I would cut one off and pull the other up. Being 20’ from bottom
Maybe a small whiteboard and pen to illustrate... I think I finally got the idea though. Water has to flow through the whatever pipe your using down to the drill bit. The bit is larger than the pipe so you have room on the side and water with crud flows up the hole. You need sufficient flow or nothing will wash up. Your using a low torque "grinding bit" because your using plastic pipe. I'm assuming at this point your just gluing the plastic pipe as you go and then cutting it when you pull it back up. I'm unsure of the washup. Hard time imagining small rocks going up 300ft. Also wondering about how much water this uses. I'll see in the next few videos. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I think you pretty much got it. I measure about 90 to 100 gallons per minute. Yes the small rocks will come to surface. Of course bentonite will help tremendously to thicken the water.
Love it. Using brain, a little brawn, getting it done yourself without paying someone else a ton of money.
Exactly
That depth well where I live costs approx 17 to 20k.... so nice job, you've got a do it yourself and get it done attitude. Very inventive
Thank you MP
Do you live on a golf coarse? I bet the members love you...lol....Great videos plan on trying here in Texas, but have one question...how are rocks handled in the system as the soil here is littered with rock. Thanks for the great vids!
Thank you! I live on my private golf coarse here in Texas. As far as the rock go I’ve had no troubles. It’s mostly iron ore rocks at first.
@@jasongrinnell1986 what part of Texas...I'm just outside of Austin in Leander, hey neighbor...I'm starting my dig early this morning before the heat hits. Thanks again for the great help
@@tonypeeler3070 I’m in north east Texas. Good luck on your dig.
So the bit will actually stay at the bottom when you finished digging? I had to rewatch again because my memory is not that good.
Lol! Yes the bit stays down there. It’s a drill till your done setup.
what was the final depth? Here in South Carolina, at my place it was solid granite after 50 feet
200’. I don’t have any granite here in Texas. I’m sure that would be pretty tough to drill through
What were you drilling with? And how thick is the granite? Just curious.
@@jasongrinnell1986 , Hi, It was a commercial well driller...hes here on you tube "wendell Lee well services"...the best here in upstate SC, they have a fine reputation on wells , drilling etc. Here in the Upstate of SC, once you get past 8-10 inches of topsoil ( if that much) its hard pan red clay..after 10 inches and you are digging a hole by hand youre using a mattock or pick....a shovel is only used to scoop it out. The driller, went through about 50 feet of that then another 25 feet or so into another strata and the next 300 foot or so was granite....400 feet total! Pretty little pile of small chips of blue rock and sand next to the hole! the casing was 6 inch diameter at 120 foot depth. I like the idea of drilling your own well and looks like youve done a remarkable job...but the granite around here would nix almost any diy equipment
I am a bit confused from the previous video. Did you replace the bit with a home made one from flat plate? Also does the bit stay at the bottom of the casing pipe? The 3" pipe used inside the casing is just there to plug the slits in pipe and the 1" feeds the water to bit? It may be late for me so might be missing info here and there.
Yes you are all correct.
The homemade bit was just for experimenting. I do plan to put some sort of cutters on it and try again. The 3” allows you to test water sands for the quality of water and when you are at a good water sand there is no need to come out of the hole.
So about how many hours did you take to drill the new well using the home made bit? I am curious to see the performance diffrence between bits. This may be as project I take on in winter when we dip to the 70s lol.
I left my Auger under a tree for 1 year and when I wanted to use it the sun ate the gas tank up. I am watching every video you have on water well digging as my interest went to 500% now. I am currently testing soils to see what I can use to seal a pond floor and most have poor clay content. A water well would be needed to keep level up and would run on solar power as well.
Yes. I like that idea of solar water well. There are kits on EBay that are cheap and will fix that auger right up.
I subscribed to your channel and have been watching your videos.
Awesome more videos.
Lol! Thanks for watching bud. I sure hope this helps you out.
Where did you get the bushings that you mentioned at the end?
The bushing came from Lowe’s. It is connected with sewer and drain products. But as you know all these stores are limited to what they have right now. Thanks for watching.
Were you able to put a well screen in it after you finished?
I drilled with the screen on the pipe.
💯
