Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here (link to video)
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!
Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living , if you are allowed down 18 feet , why not get a crew and dig down 18 with 8 feet diameter , this will hold over 1000 gal. and replenish itself it a matter of hours , as you sleep at night it will be full by morning , but you do what you think is best
Mr Martin pamiily ❤️❤️ 👍👍
PDF File on how to build this thanks
Hello, awesome job !
I would like to know where to get this kind of equipment?
How much deeper do you think you could have gone? Where I'm at I need to go no less than 100', also where did you purchase your supplies?
That’s pretty cool. I dug an 8 ‘ hole with the hand auger then lined it with a 6’ pipe. I used water pressure to shoot down a smaller pvc inside down to 27’. Worked great. With the pond right there you could jet one down pretty deep. There are plenty of videos showing what I’m talking about.
Completely interesting. I also thank you so much for your music placement. I love that you remove it when people are speaking!
Such a cool machine! Thanks Gary for helping us out this way! 😃
I like your family..very inspired 😍
@@adisondasu did you make the water swivel? If so how? I need the water swivel to start my project just as you have here.
I actually thought this guy was the driller. Julie, can you ask about the water swivel please? And relay it back to me?
@@JM-yx1lm yes I have,but now no more because I live in city
@@JM-yx1lm you can refer on Google/UA-cam how to make it..
I love to see a family all together get excited about something!
(edit)
Geez! I'm getting old and soft, I never used to notice things like that. 😂
Weh! Thanks all of you for sharing this video! I have always been fascinated with whel drilling and not wasting money when you can do these jobs yourself. Awesome work!!!
excelente
Pak martin dan keluarga...mereka para pejuang sejati..tetap semangat bapak. Keep smilling
Always drop at least a 5 gallon bucket of washed pete gravel down the casing for a sediment filter
Good idea
That’s pea gravel buddy
Down the casing? You what!? AROUND THE CASING. Don’t listen to this idiot
Marcia Marcia the soil you remove from the hole should be the back fill, you drop gravel around the casing to filter, then backfill with soil you’ve removed from hole. Never place anything but the pump down the hole
I literally do this for a living you get quarts sand and fill around the outside of the screen (PVC with slits ) to two feet above the screen then you put bentanite as a plug a foot thick or expanding clay you hydrate the expanding clay and it keeps surface contamination from getting into the well then fill it with pea gravel or quickcrete
Thank you....I Got your ideas on how to make a DIY Well Drilling Machine....Actually everyone needed to save money than to making contracts from anyone....Instead to pay, it is very saving to make our own DIY drilling machine...In my country Philippines if having a contract from drilling companies is not easy and you spending lots of money for just a drilling only without materials yet.... i am very enjoyed watching your videos...
Always just in time for my lunch break!
Glad we can provide some good lunch entertainment!
Hey Blaine! :)
Great family
Great video. That was amazing to watch it drop down like that. I kinda thought it could've easily gotten caught on rough ground on the side etc.. but it just dropped in like it was going thru hot butter. How awesome.
I was surprised to. hahaha
Great idea, I need to learn it from you
Gembira squad
Love it! Did you run into any rock?
apparently not or they wud have been stopped by ROCK. not enough weight on the bit to chew thru rock.
عمل جميل و رائع شكرا لهذه العائلة العاملة بجد
Mirip dengan cerita Noah and his Family. Build The Ark dengan semua keluarganya. Mantul... ( Mantab Betul ). hahaha.
That was crazy when the pipe kept going into the ground!!
Straight to the China
til hit a rock. then that is that as takes WEIGHT and HARD DRILL BIT AND LOTS OF CIRCULATION TO DRILL THRU ROCK.... or beat a rod thru it to break it up if it isnt too big/hard like they do when hit a rock drilling under sidewalk for water pipes to sprinklers or whatever.
awesome.... I know how hard to drill a well ... it s a very good job... I love the drilling machine...
Nice job good for you but I can't do that in California were I need a 300 foot well
Hi, I am not sure if you sealed the casing at the bottom, if not I believe you will struggle to get clean water. You want the water to come thru the sides of the casing and not the bottom.....all the best!
casing shoe.... 4" cap on end of the pipe... guide shoe.
what happens if oil comes up do you load up truck and move to Beverly
Tdk terasa sdh 5 tahun pak Martin meninggalkan indonesia n membuat rumah baru di amrik.
Good job
Next time use a few bags of pea gravel first ...then backfill.
It will help stop sand particles from entering well screen.
Again, great teamwork and job!
You best put a good filter system on this well. I hope it works, do something to stop surface water. Stay safe

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving There's nothing special about Berkey filters. There's a reason why they haven't submitted their filters to independent testing (all of their testing is in-house)
pak martin sangat jenius...hebat pak salute
Amazing video !!!!!
No filtering mesh or sediment gravel?
Sukses terus pak Martin😎
I come from the future at great expense and peril to warn you that this well won't work. : P
But its failure will lead on to greater things.
I must get back now before the vortex closes. : )
Fingers crossed. hope it fills up with water.
Me too.
Senang kalau saling kerja sama 😎
Hal yg berat pun terasa ringan,semoga cepat selesai pak martin 😇
did you consider a filtering system on the outside of those slits/ the pvc pipe? like how they do with drainage pipes
Maybe in the drilling process you are silting up the area contaminating the lower free draining soil with man made silt from the upper level. Is there a way to flush that silt out one you have reached the depth.
on oil wells they circulate and condition the hole for 20 hours before coming out for wire line logging... so the hole doesnt fall in and they have to go back to bottom all over again, clean out the hole... and come all the way out again to get logging tools.... and later casing if the well is deemed produceable... to bottom.
can you show the water conector to the drill please?
swivels are expensive...unless make them out of steel 1" pipe down the middle with holes in them inside 1.5" PVC T with bushings for the appropriate hose fitting of fluid going into the swivel
Ótimo parabéns, como que faz essa máquina? Obrigada
Do you think this can last for many years without problems? I really like your video
Great team work. Good job!!
I would have put a cap on the end of the well casing. The casing will eventually sand up from the bottom and give you problems. Also, a screen mesh around the sits you cut. Otherwise, it stll should last for a few years. Good job!
Where do I get this drill equipment?
How meter borehole and cassing
Where did the well driller source the rotary joint?
Nice video update also do your friend service Georgia area looking for someone to do a shallow well.
Nice job. It's been a year. How well is the well working?
I'm so happy for your engineering sir, and can I afford the machine I'm in UAE and I'm from Cameroon (Africa)
Good to see a fellow Idahoan making headway. Keep it up.
Did you close the underside of the pipe. If not it will not work. The pipe will fill with mud and sand. At least that is my experiance here in the Netherlands. I allways closed the pipe with a block of wood or a plastic cap. And I should have closed the slits with old painties of special netting to keep the sand out. Good luck with your well.
We will have to see how it turns out.
Where did you get your equipment?
Man I need that guy in the red shirt to help me. What state are you located in
To empty your transport tank into your permanent tank build the ground higher to pull your trailer onto so that it's higher than your opening there's a big hose to let it gravity flow
Q tal quisiera saber cuánto cuesta la makina para perforar 40 metros xfabor
17 feet 11 inches? haha. Gary is awesome!
Sumber air melimpah krn resapan air cukup luas.
Good job.
not trying to be an arm chair quarter back, but holding that stem under power is dangerous, you can control the gyration at the bottom by taking a good 2 x 4 with a 1 1/4 inch hole in the center for the stem, and notched on each end to rest on the support legs. this allows the stem to turn freely and yet keeps you from having to hold it.
other point, you are using a vice grip to hold the stem, but as the bore become larger, you can risk losing it down the bore if the ground collapses. this is prevented again with your 2 x 4 holding the vice grip.
the other option is to make a metal c ring that has extensions to hold the stem from slipping.
i hope you sterilized your well. pumping water from that pond, put all the bacteria in that pond into the strata you are drawing from
pipe clamp on a big board of some sort as dropping the pipe in the hole... not good.
Hallo Mr.martin, how do you get that large area? whether buying from the country or buying from someone else??🙏🙏🙏
I have a question. Where do you buy a drilling machine like that?
it hs to be old... as it has BRIGGS motor on it with pretty substantial gearbox on it. now a person cld get posthole digger 2 smoke power unit and do it by hand, no derrick... unless make one out of pipe or 4x4 to help lift the pipe/pull on the pipe if it gets stuck... if dont circulate circulate circulate the hole... ream each joint down after drill it down... come up... ream it down with full circulation and THEN make the connection with another joint of pipe so the hole is in good shape with bentonite clay to keep the hole from falling in... too much. stabilizers/reamers on the pipe on both ends to keep the pipe from wobbling and to ream the hole out as go down... drill 4" hole... and then have wings on the pipe to open it up to 5" ... 6" to run 4" PVC pipe for 4" downhole electric pump
What is the attachment you use to tee water into the drill pipe? I’ve seen some products sold online but they don’t appear to be compatible with an auger
Mr Jonhson, have similar property in the Caribbean, getting ready this summer to dig for water, you have any video were it show how to build an auger similar to yours
They make a pipe that is mostly screen that is made for this. It keeps the mud and other particulates out of your well, but lets water flow in freely. I think, though, that you will need to be a lot deeper. A well man will likely be able to tell you the average depth for your area.
The best estimate for a professionally drilled well is $30,000.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving it varies a lot, I've gotten quotes as low as $8000 with pump and pressure tank, red clay, charlotte, nc
Where did you find the well drilling rig?
Agree with ssome other comments. Why didn't you put other liner in first well?
Did you guys make your own drill bits?
Great videos....I was wondering why you couldn't just use the big auger ...instead of 3 of them...Just curious....I also was wondering about offering a well drilling service for shallow wells...Those small drilling unit sell for 2-5000 dollars....Thanks for the great content..
big drill bits "walk" all over as they go down, make crooked holes... a LOT OF TORQUE on the pipe... breaks pipe. like drilling a little hole in metal followed up by 2 larger bits to keep the drill bit from wandering all over the place trying to get it /keep it centered on the work... without center punch. depending on how hard the material is. wood is easy to drill with big bit.... steel and iron harder to drill with big bit without burning up the bit... etc.
Hi. Do you know by any chance what was the power of that motor from the drilling rig? That is 1" pipe the rig is using? Thanks
Man you should have at least gave detail on the water swivel. Is it self made or did you buy it??
I wish to live off grid when I'm out of college debt 😂 still paying 😂
hopefully you will get to soon.
Why on Earth you went to college if you want to live off grid? Wasted money.
all clapping for a cool machine and a job well done...but the shavings in the forest and in the water could have been avoided
Thanks. Lots of things could be avoided if we are willing to pay the price.
Sir im planning to drill can i ask all the materials for machine that you have use
Can you do a parts list on your drill setup? Like to know how the water inlet coupling was made?
Amazing i love your attitude we are not giving up ,what made you pick that site to drill ?.
I thought the pond was a spring.
I wonder how deep I got to dig in Lake Placid Florida? I saw I another guy on youtube just use a PVC to drill through Florida sand way down. I'm thinking no more than 24 feet. I don't need a lot of water or pressure.
This is awesome! How's the well performance after 4 years? Also, do you have any guidelines on how to acquire the machine or diying one?
Thx for this video.
What is the solution if a big rock is found while drilling?
Satu keluarga yg sangat hebat
Pretty neat set up since you have a generator running you should Swapmoutbthehandcrank winch for a electric or one you can operate with a electric drill or impact driver ? Otherwise I really admire what you guys built
That wasn't very deep for a well.............and you forgot to pour in pea gravel to surround your well casing slits.
Not going through rock with them bits. This would be a surface water well, not potable. Get water lab test. Use reverse osmosis at least if drinking it.
Pak Martin sangat mandiri
Hi sir may i ask i like to buy that kind of machine but i dont know where to buy that thing and what kind thank you.
did you got any response on your inquiry?
did you make the drill bits or did you buy them? also what are you using to make the hose not spin?
Where can I purchase that well drilling rig kits please? How is your well doing? Thank you.
Can you post the plans of the drilling machine plz
Bacteria well. Casing must be 20 feet and 2 feet into a 10 inch hole for 6 inch casing. Md. Master
Look what I did after watching your video
The cuts on the plastic PVC are two hi
Hi I have a well drilling rig the same as that one do you know where I can purchase the bit for it or do I have to have them made thank you

UA-cam will probably be dead by then like MySpace hahaha
02:55: What kind of junction of the hose with the pipe?
In my place you have to go down like 250 meters.
Otherwise you'll only get dirty water!
A few things from a geologist:
1) most kerfs on a circular blade are much larger than the typical well screen. The issue you can run into with that is that you will likely have sediment infiltrate the entirety of the well screen interval.
2) I did not see any filter sand inserted around the well casing. Next time, use a clean coarse silica sand (with a finer screen) and you will get much more life from your well.
3) always purge the volume of the well, plus some more, after you install a well to develop it correctly. Especially if you drilled with bentonite clay as your drilling mud and even more importantly if you ever were to use your well for consistent, relatively clean water usage.
4) please test this well for it’s water quality and be careful when using this well for drinking purposes
Lance Croft so the earth is flat, motionless and the space agencies of the world are controlled by occultist, is what you're saying?
One thing from a Well driller! never forget a sock on they end of the casing. Fine sand is needed when you drill the hole, you are looking for that and you,se that as youre infiltrate. And the Sock ofcourse. Greets from the netherlands. Oh yeay what i say in this youtube film, he was turning his rod outside the drillinghole!! danger!!
Lol Drilling with Bentonite? You realize this isn't for an oil and gas well? You didn't notice that they were getting there fluid from a pond, and that they are drilling with an Ice auger? Lol Edit your comment and tell them they should have drilled there surface hole with invert, and take samples every 1/2 ft to bring too the rock sniffer!!!
Do you think this design can be used to drill very deep and through rocks?I wanna make my own

I let my father in law talk me into buying one of these for my cabin in Alaska. I drilled down 20’ and hit rock in 3 places. The unit does not work drilling through rock. The company the sold us the unit said we could buy a $1000 bit and it would drill through rock. I did not want to waste any more money so, I gave up on the well. Now the unit has been cannibalized by the in laws. My neighbor said when the well drillers were drilling his well the machine hit bedrock at 40’. The commercial drilling machine took 2 hours to punch through. If a commercial well drilling machine takes 2 hours to punch through, how long do you think this machine will take?
If you live where the soil is like the one in the video, I guess it would be the way to go.
no that will not go through rocks
Where did you get the drilling equipment? Thanks
you didn't leave those pvc shavings did you?
dude's a novice
Por favor já cansei. Não falo mais. Traduzam e dublem. Estamos no Brasil, ou não?
What is the brand name of the drill you used? Thank you!
How did you know there was water there and how do you know when you hit water?
Since it looks like your clay layer is always to the surface, I would keep drilling until you hit gravel below the clay layer. Generally the clay inhibits water flow. You can use a bit inside the existing casing to keep reaming the hole deeper below the current casing. Every 5 feet push the casing down 5' and attach a casing extensions (not slotted). Get the max water flow you can on the driller bit as it's what washes out the cuttings. Once you go below the clay layer into gravel, that is where the water should be. One thing: don't stop the bit in the hole the cuttings will settle out and freeze the bit in the hole and you will not get it out. Happened to a friend with the same sort of rig at about 100' down. Keep the bit turning while pulling it out, except while you change pipe lengths. Good luck.
I can only go 18 feet legally without a permit and a licensed well driller.
