In Larry we trust))
appreciate the comment. Thanks
I love this!!! I have a T handle system that we always used here in bottom land in Arkansas ground isn’t that hard, just working T handle back and forth we washed out a 4” hole and always put down a 2” PVC pipe. We’ve washed out as far as 75’-100’ but mostly 60’-70’ always have real good drinking water.
We only have two sections of like a cycle cutter or kindbind cycle bar sections
That sounds pretty cool. Appreciate the comment

Would a pvc pipe last as long as a medal pipe?
Ratson haba b'shem YaHuah
I am amazed would love close-up pictures of everything to try and build one
Now that the weather is getting better.? I may be able to get some better footage. Had one of my shops cave in with the winter ice storm, so it will require my attention for several weeks
Larry Sbrusch Oh sorry to hear that well I would appreciate it that winter storm sure was heck
Looking good I can't wait to get mine going
Can't wait to see it..
Nice engineering
Thank you

After you drill How do you keep the water bearing sands from caving back in before you can get your casing or sand screen down?
I use bore gel
@@LarrySbruschthanks, is that like bentonite?
Pretty much the same thing
Wondering what kind of rocks wash up when you know you’ve got good quality drinking water??
What did you use to be able to connect the water to flow down through the pipe and where can you get it? Very creative awesome machine sir!
Custom made water swivel
Lol! You can’t take the oilfield out of our blood. It’s contagious.
Your are correct..
I kind of miss my old rig 109 with HP Drilling..
Wonder where I can buy plans for this....
I sold the rig over 3 years ago and did not have any plans
How much did it cost to build your rig
At the time I might of had around $7000 in it including drill pipe that I built. The couplings were $55 a set
@@LarrySbrusch thank you. I appreciate the information
Good work! Did you have any trouble keeping mud out, not staying going back to hole
Not at all
wow, that's awesome. Do you have measurements and dimensions? It would be great to do one so i can do my own well. Thanks once more for the great video.
Sorry, but do not..this was a fly on the go build
Can we get a list of all the parts that were used or link to where we can get them
Hey Larry, have you thought of converting it to use air drilling (dth) ? I have a similar project just looking around to see if someone has done it already...and the success rate
Cheers
No I have not. I drilled about 15 wells with it and had a guy come by with a pocket full of cash. He took the rig home with him. I couldn’t pass the deal up
definitely a jack of all trades can you bake biscuits
Oh hell yeah, that and homemade bread
Hi Larry, great looking machine. Are you still in East Texas? Do you come back to the RGV often? I would love to lease your machine for a weekend if you are here. I just bought a small hydra drill, gonna start trying it but it would be awesome to use your better machine
I only get to the valley about twice a year..I am still living up at Onalaska texas area..will not be moving back to valley..too nice up here
Plis show as your bits.
Hi Larry, Curious on your pipe sections,cannot tell for sure. Have seen the threads on some of these sections are very course and deep. Not actually the 'native' pipe threads. What are these threads,,or couplers the threads called. Wanting to build my own rig...maybe. Thanks
They are made by boze brothers and are the best couplers you can buy for drill pipe connections. You can use these over and over for a long time when using pipe dope
Thanks @@LarrySbrusch… where would I go about finding the “boze brothers” to find some of these connections?
@@cameronmarkert The last I heard they were located in texas, But you might call Lonestar Drillbits in houston and see if they have the M50 Couplings also
Whatever makes a hole. Grout your pipe into bedrock 2 feet or more into bedrock.
Great suggestion
Love to have the plans for this. Would pay for them.
I sold the rig about 6 months ago and I did not have any plans. It took me a couple of weeks to build with no plans.I may be building another one
I would also purchase plans. That’s badass.
@@joshuareed7528 Sorry, but I don't have any plans
@@LarrySbruschhow much would it cost to purchase one from you sir?
I'm sorry, but I do not build them commercially..This was one that I built for my personal use and when I was finished drilling 18 or more wells, I sold it@@johndoe-qm3id
What size Hydrualic motor are you using what is the torque rating of the motor
Shalom Aleichem.
This may sound like a stupid question, but have you ever hit anything besides water, say oil or a natural gas pocket?
Ratson haba b'shem YaHuah
Not in our area, but it is possible. Appreciate the comment
Did you build this contraption, if so that's sweet as it can get, i can't believe you haven't hit any tree roots
Yes I built this old dinosaur several years ago..I use to work for H & P Drilling. so I took a big rig in my mind and just made a smaller simpler one..Nothing big or fancy and fit within my budget. Appreciate the comment..
I have hit some tree roots, but the old bits I uses drill through them....doesn't slow it down much
@@LarrySbrusch ok, im a guy that loves plans to build things, this you've heard from from me before, but do ya have any plans for this or can ya put some together, lol
@@LarrySbrusch I use to Drill on H&P 235.
What type and size pipe did you use and what type of couplings? Also the largest problem ive ran into in trying to build by own is how to hook the water to a spinning pipe
If I remember correctly, it was heavy wall 1-1/2” pipe. The drill collars were from Bose brothers. I think I ordered them from lone star drill bits. And yes the water swivel is the toughest part. I cant even explain how this one is built
You can get those swivels pretty reasonable we use them on ingot mold machines at work with hot oil running through them to heat the molds. I think we pay 650$ for them but they are all brass 2 1/2 inch
Got our Cnc machine setting up for making the drill pipe collars. Will have some ready in a couple of weeks @ txdashcovers.com
Where did u get your swivel???? Model?
Made it myself at the time
LARRY GREAT JOB AND RIG I'M IN TEXAS AND NEED DRILL PIPE WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR COLLARS FOR THE DRILL PIPE. THANKS
It's been so long ago..I believe it was lone star drill bits
Larry was the length of the hydraulic cylinder on this rig
I sold the machine about 2 years ago. Not sure, but it was one of the biggest ones I could find.. I believe it was around 52”
Thank for the reply thats all i like finishing up on mine. I used 2 3/8 tubing and machined my ends male and female threads and bought 10 joints of pipe 31 footers made 30 joints 10 ft joints. i used a Dodge TDX 4 gearbox with a 2 foot sub in for turn table with a hydraulic motor on the input shaft with a killer water swivel i designed on top of gearbox with 2" inlet from pump. if you ever need ends for pipe, water swivel i have a machine shop here in Texas between weatherford and Abilene thats all i really do is things with water drilling and small things for the locals Thanks again
That is an impressive machine. Question, where you live do you need any permit or to be bonded to drill your own well?
I can't drill commercially .you have to have a license here in Texas..but I can drill my own well..and help my friends out when needed..I was told by other viewers that other people can lease a rig like this and do their own..not sure..????
Not sure how to take this comment..I'm a little lost
@mich torrie now I got it..appreciate the comment.thank you
@@LarrySbrusch I looked up the laws in Texas and the best I understand is you can drill your own well on your own property for your own consumption without a permit.
Hi Larry, I’m wanting to build one basically like this. Could you provide any insight on the swivel construction and perhaps the size of the hydraulic cylinder? Thanks
I will try to get you information on Tuesday when I get back to where the rig is at...I can find the cylinder size pretty easy, but the swivel, was a build on the fly..get you as much as I can
Hi Larry, what kind of packing in the swivel? Looks like a winner
I don’t remember all of the exact details. But it has a Teflon seal on top and bottom the each one is packed with graphite material under a squeezing collar. Once the weather warms up. I am thinking of making a video of the basic set up
How many the deep the metro maximum and the mm
I only have enough drill pipe to drill 200 feet and it will drill that depth with no issue..not sure how much deeper it will go without buying or making more pipe
How many or much in euro thanks the machine thanks
I decided not to sell it..and I do not manufacture them.. This is just a one time project for myself and we are still using it
Wats ur asking price for this whole drilling set up ?
It will not be for sale until around October. I have three more wells to drill. Price will be around 12,000 with drill pipe
That includes 3 bits and a sub
I'm in Magnolia, TX not too far from you. Can I rent this thing from you for a weekend? Ain't no way I'm paying a company 10-15k to do it for me.
I need to go 200' just fyi
Sorry but I sold it
I’m thinking about building a bigger one over the winter. Something that will go around 1000 foot or more
@@LarrySbrusch Oh man, no worries, thanks for the feedback, cool videos though and I'll figure something out on my end.
Would like to know how you built the rotary wash pipe between you hydrolic motor and drill pipe ?
Almost impossible to explain this response, too much detail
how'd you build the water swivel?
It was very time consuming and expensive. I couldn’t explain it in a message if I tried
@@LarrySbrusch got any advice for trying to build a smaller one?
@@drmoto8058 not really. You have to find a way to seal the outter casing but still have water running through the holes in the inner shaft. It’s tough
How can you tell when you hit water?
Most of the time, you will be in sand or gravel is a good indication..there should be water..In some cases you will begin to start loosing some water to the water you found in that table
Texas has public records and map that is somewhat easy to navigate to permitted water wells drilled. It’s got elevations and good water sand info as well as a log of the well.
@@jasongrinnell1986 Yes sir.. I look at them about three times a month, just to study our area..great information. Thanks
What diameter hole do you drill?
I start with a 3-7/8" bit then I open it up with a 6--7/8" Bit to be able to set the casing and screen
Larry Sbrusch would you be interested in selling this setup or know of a place in Texas that rents them? I’m close to Crockett and I’ve seen a place online that says there located in Livingston Tx that build them but I don’t think they rent them and new ones aren’t cheap!
@@sanfordburran7321 after I finish my well, I might consider selling this machine..rolling it around in my head..my second thoughts might be to keep it being that water or good water will be a bigger issue than it is ,in 5-10 more years. I use to lease it out, but I had a buyer loose 40 feet of pipe and a bit..and he never paid me
@@sanfordburran7321 how deep do you plan on drilling
Larry Sbrusch well the water wells that are around me are 140 to 130! I have a old hand dug well that my grandpa dug that I’m pretty sure it’s 70 feet that I’ve been cleaning out that has been filled in I’ve been told it’s 96 feet deep but it never held water and I thought about just putting a 6 or 8 inch casing in it when I get it cleaned out then trying to drill it deeper but I’m not sure it may be easer to just start over!
Where's part #3?
No part three yet.i have a tricone roller bit being made to drill through granite, should be ready soon to finish the well..that will be part three
