    Happy Birthday! Concerning your comments on the guy from Costa Rica who learned to operate a drilling rig by watching your channel, There is a wheelwright/wainwright (wagon builder) who has a shop in Joliet Montana. His YT channel is Engle's Coach Shop. The purpose of his channel is to document a dying trade. He calls his channel "The visual encyclopedia for the wheelwright/wainwright." Though the well drilling trade may not be dying, it is still an important reference for the future of the trade.

      Thats guy over on Engels Coach Shop is good it everything he touches. black smiting, leather work, upholstery work, woodworking, wheel wright, restoration, rebuilding,...

      @scotty2307 8 месяцев назад +6

      @R_B62 Yes. I have watched him for years. I not only love his content, but I appreciate the fact that his goal is to make his knowledge accessible to everyone. It is quite possible that it may become a necessary skill in the future.
      As to H2O Mechanic, If I open YT and find a newly uploaded video from him, it will be the first thing I watch.I really love the work ethic, the attitude, and drilling wells is fascinating to me.

    I am not a well driller, but it is allot more to it than I ever knew. I have seen real drillers while I was working on the house, but didn't get a chance to stand there and watch up close for very long. I am an electrician whom was wirring the homes. Nice job on this. You got a really good hit on this well. Keep up the good work:)

    @michaellalanae7228 2 месяца назад +2

    It was my dream to drill wells and provide water for everyone. Then I learned the truck , bits , permits , licences, and the two million dollars it would take to get started and that stopped that . 😢

  • @WillaHerrera
    @WillaHerrera 5 месяцев назад +6

    That's a great story about the guy from Costa Rica.
    I can tell you one thing for sure. The most important part of accomplishing anything in life is the ability to go for it.
    I know this because I defeat every single idea i have because i get caught up in all the reasons it won't work rather than just doing it. I defeat myself and it's made my life not so great.

    I like watching other drillers work with different rigs. Weve drilled in michigan for 60 plus yrs with a gardner denver 1000. We dont drill with air. We use bentonite to the bedrock. Then drill with clear water. Were also running 2, 5x6 mudpumps to flush cuttings out. Its an old turntable rig. But still drills efficiently

I am hooked on it, I may need an intervention, I can't stop. love your content and everything you do and how you do it people are extremely lucky to have you work for them. Keep up the good work.

    Whoa, someone took “learned it on RUclips” to the next level-460’ deep level. It’s one thing to learn how to build something from RUclips, but to go out and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so is next level.

    • @alexanderkupke920
      @alexanderkupke920 8 месяцев назад +1

      Not to mention that besides watching a bunch of videos and spending money on equipment, it still requires a certain amount of skill and dedication to make use of that.
      Every idiot who can muster the money to buy a rig and watches the videos can try to start drilling, and many would get somewhere after a while, sure including breaking stuff and all that comes with it. And to be honest, that is part of how we learn, so not necessarily a bad thing. But only few will be able to understand the learned in a way that allows them to pull such a thing of on the first attempt.

    • @goinginsane37098
      @goinginsane37098 4 месяца назад

      The drill setup that I saw is a little over $4,000 - not hundreds of thousands. Yes you can easily get to that with these bigger more advanced units but if a person is willing to put a little work in they can get a less advanced machine

      ​@@2wwwillybecause of people taking some elses hard work and getting paid for it while doing next to nothing. a water mark makes that less possible. offcourse some would still be able to do it because nothing can be made 100% error proof but it will weed out most of the content abusers.

    You should be proud. I have called my water co. Asking how deep there wells are? They didn't respond so far.
    Were would water wells be recorded in Illinois. We are in aquifer, keep it straight. What does that mean exactly a lot of ground with gravel? That has the water filter through it. I don't have an idea?

  • @DudeWilson-g9r

    You could try to suppress outside audio noise with a wool sock layer it so that there's 3 layers of wool between to mic. And the noisy object. Goodluck hopes this helps, make sure to use wool tho polys don't suppress the noise they just block the direct wave from impacting the drum sensor on the mic.

I do all my own plumbing for years now and didn’t know anything about drilling or plumbing up a well. Thanks to you and your channel I’ve learned a lot. Keep up the great videos and I’ll be following you.

All glacier area in N MN. Granite is black with some white in it and has not changed color. An inch at a time is all we see the drill going down. I sure have learned a lot watching your videos and have sold your channel to several other people. Keep up the great work!!!!
