I'll be thinking of these hard workers every time i go to my kitchen sink, open the faucet and get a glass of cool clear refreshing water....respect ❤😪
I was a power lineman and working in the Irvine area and getting ready to set an hundred foot steel pole. Forty feet of it went into the ground. While digging the hole with a well digger we broke through the ground and there was a rushing river at the bottom of the hole. Frankly it scared the heck out of me. If you fell into that no one would ever see you again. We had to dump abound 20 yards of concrete to bring it up to where we could set the pole. We set the pole and encased it in foam.
In Malaysia we place a precast reinforced concrete (RC) cylinder upright on the site. We start digging on the inner ground and the heavy cylinder will lower by itself into the ground. When the cylinder is level with the ground place another cylinder on top and so on until clean water at the deeper level is obtained. Water will seep in between the cylinders into the well. The top few cylinder joints can be joined with sealant to prevent dirty water of top levels seeping in. No danger of wall collapse.
and people wonder how the pyramids were able to be built....maybe aliens helped them, how could they possibly have done it?? Well...after watching this....imagine what 10,000 people could do. It makes sense now!
Digging in this type of soil by hand is HARD, backbreaking work, and all done without the benefit of heavy machinery. Looks like quality workmanship. Respect from the United States of America.
Our forefathers did the same. Often smaller, for a farm family, but township wells also had to be dug sometimes. ALL of those who do what it takes are deserving of respect. I think many of us have no idea what it took and STILL takes for some people to survive. And in many cases thrive. These folks, poor as they may be are WINNERS.
Also extremally dangerous. It doesn't take much for the soil to collapse on the workers burying them alive. Seen some people almost get buried that way. All the special services had a lot of work that day. Employed every excavator in the area they could find, just to hopefully dig the poor saps out alive (they got lucky).

My first job in 1968 was digging 8 foot deep and 3 ft. wide ditches for water services in Calgary Alberta Canada. The pay was $1.10 an hour. I could usually dig 8 to 10 feet long in clay a day. These fellas have my respect ! ! !

People who mock USA safety regulations are usually people who have not seen people die in the bottom of a hole from a lack of O2 or a collapse. All that had to happen is the guy hauling up the bucket to drop it and hit a guy in the head and one man is dead. There is a reason people in the USA do not hand-dig wells anymore.

Wonderful work on the wells. Just amazing. I saw so many techniques that were used build these. The small can of water on the brick to check that it was level, the stick across the wall at it's center using the marked shorter stick to keep the round wall evenly round, the rope around the larger pipe for the 3 guys to turn the pipe and join it to the lower pipe.

OSHA has laws and regulations for a reason. That is a stupid risk of everyone’s lives. Any excavation deeper than four feet needs to be supported to prevent a cave-in. It happens so fast there is no time to rescue everyone before the suffocate.

We ( father started business ) had bore well for water drilling business in India from 1965 to 1989, intially up to 1984 we did all by manual drilling without any power machinery then we bought rotary machines and one impact machine build ourself.Our south gujarat area gets good sand water at level of 40 feet to 170 feet.we did for home use to agriculture, small village water works etc, installing centrifugal, jet,hand ,submercible pumps. This guys were digging wide well initially so that simple centrifugal pump can be used at bottom of well as centrifugal pump can not suck water below 30 feet.
For 20 years I have made a good living running work with workmen from all over central and south America. These men have a tremendous work ethic just as the many I was privileged to work with. BTW it kinda prove how overboard we've gone on safety here in the USA.
No shoring on any of these wells. Wonder how many guys died before they figured out how to get the dig process down correctly or when they could tell when one was about to collapse on them.
@@LegendLength hard work fulfils a sense of existence, it's meaning and purpose. They are not adopted activities like hobbies or working for currency to buy things - this doesnt fulfil the void.
What hard labor have you guys ever done? Fun? Day after day after day for their whole life? They are doing this to survive. It ain't watching TH-cam videos from the comfort of your couch with the A/C on and the fridge in the next room. You think any of these guys wouldn't trade places with you?
Here in Central Australia, my ancestors dug their well with a different principal, the didn't just go straight down but in an angle, this way they would create a staircase that goes down to the water which was covered by grass as a filtration system, and a canopy would be placed over the well to keep the water cold during the summer, people would come to the well for days until they move to another location, there they would dig up another well in the similar way as the first one, now days we can't dig wells anymore because of the feral animals that was introduced by colonisers, these animals would destroy the well and the most precious resource know to both man and beast, like the video 👍 keep it up😁🇦🇺
These guys are machines! Looks great. In the early’60s, when I was a little kid, my Uncle from the Adirondack Mts area of upstate NY, he and some other men built an artesian well in his front yard, I’m not real sure how an artesian well works, but his water still comes out of there iced cold! He passed away a couple years ago.
Artesian water is located at great depth, on average 100 meters from the surface of the earth. And there is quite a strong pressure because of this, artesian water comes out under pressure itself from the well, without the use of a water pump. Unlike groundwater, which is located very close to the surface of the earth and requires a water pump for pumping. Артезианская воды находится на большой глубине, в среднем в 100 метрах от поверхности земли. И там довольно сильное давление из-за этого артезианская вода выходит под давлением сама из скважины, без применения водяного насоса. В отличии от грунтовых вод, которые расположены очень близко к поверхности земли и требуют для выкачивания водяной насос.
I'm familiar with the area, most wells there are technically water table wells, water flows from the ground near the bottom of mountains after having fallen as rain and passed through hundreds of feet of rock and soil. My father has a similar well in Ticonderoga.
У нас в дачных поселках по Подмосковью артезианские скважины ещё с советского времени, вода изумительная. Набирается в большой резервуар, а из него по трубам подаётся к каждому участку. Поселки по домов 600-800.
When I was 10 my grandfather and I dug our well to 50’ by hand, we used a post hole auger till it got too soupy, a 3’ stick of pipe at a time, then we went to the barn and built a Can-D bailer and a rock breaker chisel pipe, the well made 25 gallons a minute of the nicest water!
@@infinitycosmos4723well, you need a good understanding of the geographic situation around you, (a) geography is fascinating (b) it also telling, above and below ground, you can see it above ground and that which is below has history in the wells that have Ben sunk around you, find out.

@@ronnieswindski825just because you were hiding inside doesn't mean everyone else was. Some kids were out working on farms. The summer I was 11 was spent moving dirt, 550 yards of black loamy dirt shoveled into a small 2 yard trailer by hand, and hauled with a Honda Big Red 250ES. The next year we had a leak in our irrigation system so I got to dig that up and repair it 15' down in clay, with a pick axe and a shovel.
I would make sure the guy up top has control of the bucket before starting back to work. Impressive work. I like how he slings the bucket onto his shoulder.
The video was edited to increase video length. It actually took them negative 3 seconds to finish. So when they got the idea to build a well it was already up 3 seconds ago. VOOM VOOM VOOM fast fast! They work so fast that my face skin is being pulled back like a Rollercoaster by just watching
I remember how my arms seemed to want to raise up involuntarily after a days worth of digging and tossing the shovels full of clay up and out of the hole. So glad to be retired!! Mucho respect for all those that still do!!
Proprioceptors keep track of the position of our body. It makes us less clumsy. Overstretching them can cause weird things to happen as you have observed.
@@atomgrounder857 - I ain't your bro, pal. Besides, what is fake? My original posted comment made no mention of time lapse. Obviously there is a couple of days of strenuous labor here. I've done quite a bit of digging in my career so how can you be so presumptuous to think that YOU know what I observed in this video clip?
It's hard to appreciate just how much hard work goes into making something like a hand dug well, just by looking at it. But your video really shows not only how incredibly hard working these men are, but also that they do theor work with a high degree of skill and discipline. Thank you for the insight.
I grow up in South America and me 12 years old my father like 60 years old Don Celimo like 70 years old, dig one 20 feet down with precast 6 feet wide concrete cilindres till we found water and continue 5 feet more down pumping water out with gas pump about 3 days took as to finish
Fantastic hard work with great ingenious solutions to problems. I shiver a little about 30 feet of wall with nothing to prevent collapse...but to each their own soil conditions. :) Love the tractor cable hoist combos done here.
the bricks reinforce themselves being in a circular shape. basically, there is not enough space for it to fall through. you could build it to any depth and it would not cave in built like that. its the same for tunnels, which are circular and not squared =)
My well goes down 12 meters hand dug by a tiny Romanian it's bottle shaped as he dig through 3 meters of sand. He used bricks one under the others tap tap tap down he dug over two weeks till he hit stone and slowly it filled he used a rope and. Pulley wife or son at top. Madness from Australia
Nothing more than good old fashioned hard work. I know it's not something you see nowadays so watch closely young generation this is how you should be working.
No Health and Safety concerns for these Heroes. An hour or so spent on a bit of Wood shoring might have been a wise investment. Nothing stopping that lot caving in on top of them! Bare feet too. Eeejits !
How about let grown men decide for themselves. Take into consideration that these are primarily poor populations; poor populations that *hand dig* wells.
@@JesusSaves86AB How simplistic can you get? Yes, they're compelled to "decide for themselves" because the nation in which they live does not have the money to provide a Western-world public water supply; far less a Health and Safety executive with officials and legislation to enforce the wearing of personal protection equipment, which they can't afford anyway. Meanwhile their wives and children are working in factories on a couple of dollars a day making soft toys, T-shirts, and shiploads of other junk for us in the West to buy and throw away. Too many clowns with soft hands down here talking about the "dignity" and "fun" of hard work. Brainless barstool rhetoric.
Breaking those stones looks hard work, sledge hammer bouncing off! Good to see the old shell and auger rig at the end there, I used to wok on one of those, escaped with all of my fingers.
Where is the 'extreme ingenious?' Did I miss it? I saw gangs of workmen working hard to construct water wells. I didn't see anything ingenious (inventive · creative · imaginative) in the extreme just very had labour.

Может им нужно пожелать приобрести специальную технику для выполнения донного вида работ? Ну , а здоровья пожелать, конечно можно и нужно любому человеку в любой сфере деятельности. Если они сами хотят лопатой, ведром и верёвкой копать колодец как до нашей эры, то тут уж некого винить.
@08:28 From here it looks like the inner tube is drilling, causing the outer casing to sink, but if they only have a hoist, how was it rotating? Unless the ground was really soft, and as they lifted mud, it sank?
Extremely fast, 12 minutes ;-) I cant see any time that tells me how long it took to build. German translation of the title says it was surprisingly fast, but in the video is not shown how long it took. Could be days, weeks, months............... i dont know.........
Wow these guys sure put in a good days work! great craftsmanship and I like how they have bare feet. One day of this kind of hard work would probably put me in my grave😂
Im a big muscular gringo and I had to dig out some enviro-latrines due to design failures in Suchitoto, El Salvador. I was working with some locals and I was much bigger them. they started digging and after about 10 minutes, I asked to join in. Man, I stabbed the ground as hard as I could and it was like cement. Those little guys were MUCH stronger in their hands than I was. THe workers there demolish buildings and roads by HAND: They were just laughing at how soft I was.

I always wondered how the ancient people built complicated and architecturally challenging structures, and here I am watching these two guys make something like this in 21st century with only innovative tools. I have nothing
It's astounding and hypnotic to watch these men carve an incredibly Symmetric hole that's ~12 FEET in diameter and ~35 Feet deep, with 'cave man' tools.... BRAVO !
You have to wonder how many times those wells caved in on the men down in the bottom of the well. The Health and Safety board would have a field day fining everybody if digging for a well was dug like this in a first world country.
If you did that in the US, the federal government would tax you on a well-completion fee and an annual usage fee. Plus, the EPA would be on your case every other day.
Note: this is hard, valuable, skilled work done BY MEN for the benefit of the WHOLE COMMUNITY. We need to use real examples like this to remind those who go on about 'toxic masculinity' just what real men do.
Zx yep, at 72 years old I am not in shape to work like these guys lol. Now until I was about fifty I could have done this. I was a flooring installer ( carpet, tile, wood, sheet vinyl etc) and was in great shape. That's all gone now ha ha!!! But I do about anything I need to.

We ( father started business ) had bore well for water drilling business in India from 1965 to 1989, intially up to 1984 we did all by manual drilling without any power machinery then we bought rotary machines and one impact machine build ourself.Our south gujarat area gets good sand water at level of 40 feet to 170 feet.we did for home use to agriculture, small village water works etc, installing centrifugal, jet,hand ,submercible pumps. This guys were digging wide well initially so that simple centrifugal pump can be used at bottom of well as centrifugal pump can not suck water below 30 feet.
For 20 years I have made a good living running work with workmen from all over central and south America. These men have a tremendous work ethic just as the many I was privileged to work with. BTW it kinda prove how overboard we've gone on safety here in the USA.
Bureaucracy is the word for it.
No shoring on any of these wells.
Wonder how many guys died before they figured out how to get the dig process down correctly or when they could tell when one was about to collapse on them.
many hands make light work. I'm very impressed. It is really amazing what people can accomplish when the work as a team.
Modernity really takes the fun out of hard work. Much respect to hard working people of the world.
@@LegendLength hard work fulfils a sense of existence, it's meaning and purpose. They are not adopted activities like hobbies or working for currency to buy things - this doesnt fulfil the void.
Yeah, really looks like fun.
Hard physical work.... Life expectancy 40 years. Honestly, there is no nobility in labour.
What hard labor have you guys ever done? Fun? Day after day after day for their whole life? They are doing this to survive. It ain't watching TH-cam videos from the comfort of your couch with the A/C on and the fridge in the next room. You think any of these guys wouldn't trade places with you?
Для того что бы утверждать , насколько тяжёлая работа приносит удовольствие , надо самому так поработать . Думаю , что мнение изменится )
Here in Central Australia, my ancestors dug their well with a different principal, the didn't just go straight down but in an angle, this way they would create a staircase that goes down to the water which was covered by grass as a filtration system, and a canopy would be placed over the well to keep the water cold during the summer, people would come to the well for days until they move to another location, there they would dig up another well in the similar way as the first one, now days we can't dig wells anymore because of the feral animals that was introduced by colonisers, these animals would destroy the well and the most precious resource know to both man and beast, like the video 👍 keep it up😁🇦🇺
How many die from the top side collapsing?
Much respect for your work! All the best to you! Cold, clear water!
These guys are machines! Looks great. In the early’60s, when I was a little kid, my Uncle from the Adirondack Mts area of upstate NY, he and some other men built an artesian well in his front yard, I’m not real sure how an artesian well works, but his water still comes out of there iced cold! He passed away a couple years ago.
От воды?
От старости
Artesian water is located at great depth, on average 100 meters from the surface of the earth. And there is quite a strong pressure because of this, artesian water comes out under pressure itself from the well, without the use of a water pump. Unlike groundwater, which is located very close to the surface of the earth and requires a water pump for pumping.
Артезианская воды находится на большой глубине, в среднем в 100 метрах от поверхности земли. И там довольно сильное давление из-за этого артезианская вода выходит под давлением сама из скважины, без применения водяного насоса. В отличии от грунтовых вод, которые расположены очень близко к поверхности земли и требуют для выкачивания водяной насос.
I'm familiar with the area, most wells there are technically water table wells, water flows from the ground near the bottom of mountains after having fallen as rain and passed through hundreds of feet of rock and soil. My father has a similar well in Ticonderoga.
У нас в дачных поселках по Подмосковью артезианские скважины ещё с советского времени, вода изумительная. Набирается в большой резервуар, а из него по трубам подаётся к каждому участку. Поселки по домов 600-800.
Such skill,strength and stamina !!
When I was 10 my grandfather and I dug our well to 50’ by hand, we used a post hole auger till it got too soupy, a 3’ stick of pipe at a time, then we went to the barn and built a Can-D bailer and a rock breaker chisel pipe, the well made 25 gallons a minute of the nicest water!
How does a person know where to dig??
Plz 🙏
@@infinitycosmos4723well, you need a good understanding of the geographic situation around you, (a) geography is fascinating (b) it also telling, above and below ground, you can see it above ground and that which is below has history in the wells that have Ben sunk around you, find out. (C) ask around about Water Witcher’s, invite 3 out on 3 different days, prepare them a fine spread in trade for a witching, mark and rate 1,2&3 of each Witcher’s best 3 spots with a rocks unbeknownst to the others, they had ought to hit pretty close to each other.
No you didn't. Everyone on here saying they dug 50-80 feet by hand. BS! I'd love to see you dig even a 10 ft hole. Especially at 10 years old? Gtfoh 😅
@@ronnieswindski825, Yes, I did and I have the receipts, what we like to call… pictures, doughhead!
@@ronnieswindski825just because you were hiding inside doesn't mean everyone else was. Some kids were out working on farms. The summer I was 11 was spent moving dirt, 550 yards of black loamy dirt shoveled into a small 2 yard trailer by hand, and hauled with a Honda Big Red 250ES. The next year we had a leak in our irrigation system so I got to dig that up and repair it 15' down in clay, with a pick axe and a shovel.
I would make sure the guy up top has control of the bucket before starting back to work. Impressive work. I like how he slings the bucket onto his shoulder.
I was told short handled shovels were invented by priests! These men are rightous hard workers.Salute!
Damn! It only took them 4 minutes to build that first well! That's indeed amazing!
The video was edited to increase video length. It actually took them negative 3 seconds to finish. So when they got the idea to build a well it was already up 3 seconds ago. VOOM VOOM VOOM fast fast!
They work so fast that my face skin is being pulled back like a Rollercoaster by just watching
thought that joke would be to cheap, you proved me wrong
I played it on 2x speed and they dug it in 2 minutes!
backbreaking work. these guys are tough.. tough.. tough...
They might not be free. More slaves in the world today than ever before...
I remember how my arms seemed to want to raise up involuntarily after a days worth of digging and tossing the shovels full of clay up and out of the hole. So glad to be retired!! Mucho respect for all those that still do!!
Proprioceptors keep track of the position of our body. It makes us less clumsy. Overstretching them can cause weird things to happen as you have observed.
It fake bro they take a weeks worth of work and put it together to look like a day. How are people so gullible.
@@atomgrounder857 - I ain't your bro, pal. Besides, what is fake? My original posted comment made no mention of time lapse. Obviously there is a couple of days of strenuous labor here. I've done quite a bit of digging in my career so how can you be so presumptuous to think that YOU know what I observed in this video clip?
@@davidgibbs381 Sure you have sure.. Its obvious if you pay attention to the time edits. Sure

Hard working dudes

It's hard to appreciate just how much hard work goes into making something like a hand dug well, just by looking at it. But your video really shows not only how incredibly hard working these men are, but also that they do theor work with a high degree of skill and discipline.
Thank you for the insight.
Awesome, yet very dangerous work. A collapse will kill whoever is in those holes. Pray for these men's safety.
Well done!
Excellent video, this is what man is supposed to do, built stuff.
How in the world do you have a "gut" after doing this type of work all the time?! I have the same gut because I work behind a desk. just saying... lol
Love the required "SAFETY" equipment!
I grow up in South America and me 12 years old my father like 60 years old Don Celimo like 70 years old, dig one 20 feet down with precast 6 feet wide concrete cilindres till we found water and continue 5 feet more down pumping water out with gas pump about 3 days took as to finish
they are the cleanest people who ever to be playing in mud and not break a sweat .. i need to hire theses guy
Truly talented and very hard working individuals!
Some people think sitting on their bum pushing a pen in a air-conditioned building is hard work...
We need a WOW button.
Fantastic hard work with great ingenious solutions to problems. I shiver a little about 30 feet of wall with nothing to prevent collapse...but to each their own soil conditions. :)
Love the tractor cable hoist combos done here.
the bricks reinforce themselves being in a circular shape. basically, there is not enough space for it to fall through. you could build it to any depth and it would not cave in built like that. its the same for tunnels, which are circular and not squared =)
I was thinking the same thing. Extremely dangerous to dig with no protection while working. Don’t take much dirt to kill someone.
@@bigal25938 Yeah, trench collapsed on a guy near us, didn't even cover his shoulders but he died anyway when it induced a heart attack.
@@bhatkat😂
My well goes down 12 meters hand dug by a tiny Romanian it's bottle shaped as he dig through 3 meters of sand. He used bricks one under the others tap tap tap down he dug over two weeks till he hit stone and slowly it filled he used a rope and. Pulley wife or son at top. Madness from Australia
Amazing! I always wondered how this was done. Unbelievable strength and skill. Such craftsmen
Nothing more than good old fashioned hard work. I know it's not something you see nowadays so watch closely young generation this is how you should be working.
No Health and Safety concerns for these Heroes. An hour or so spent on a bit of Wood shoring might have been a wise investment. Nothing stopping that lot caving in on top of them! Bare feet too. Eeejits !
Oh, and maybe some eyewear when sledgehammering those rocks!
Caution REAL MEN @ work
How about let grown men decide for themselves. Take into consideration that these are primarily poor populations;
poor populations that *hand dig* wells.
@@JesusSaves86AB Got no problem with that, mate. It's known as Culling the herd
@@JesusSaves86AB How simplistic can you get? Yes, they're compelled to "decide for themselves" because the nation in which they live does not have the money to provide a Western-world public water supply; far less a Health and Safety executive with officials and legislation to enforce the wearing of personal protection equipment, which they can't afford anyway. Meanwhile their wives and children are working in factories on a couple of dollars a day making soft toys, T-shirts, and shiploads of other junk for us in the West to buy and throw away. Too many clowns with soft hands down here talking about the "dignity" and "fun" of hard work. Brainless barstool rhetoric.
you would think these guys look like Muscles McGraw 1000% muscle, AMazing ,
What bad ass dudes some really great working skills and strengths 💪 👏
Why you said bad ass.. They have pretty round ass🥺
These guys are brilliant - they construct an extremely valuable resource with simple hand tools - why can't the African people do this ?
Never dig in a hole deeper than it is wide without supports.
Unless you have few, or no options, and need to get the job done.
Pretty sure it's circumstantial but ok
I would think there is a danger of collapse so yes that is a good rule of thumb.
OSHA would have a field day here. But it's really cool to see some tough men doing traditional work!
Incredible. Thoroughly impressed.
Breaking those stones looks hard work, sledge hammer bouncing off! Good to see the old shell and auger rig at the end there, I used to wok on one of those, escaped with all of my fingers.
Where is the 'extreme ingenious?' Did I miss it? I saw gangs of workmen working hard to construct water wells. I didn't see anything ingenious (inventive · creative · imaginative) in the extreme just very had labour.
Pretty deep subject,, glad I dropped in.
I was feeling lower than a well digger’s posterior but this sort of brought me back up.
Бедные люди,какой тяжелый труд.Всю жизнь на лопате,дай им Бог здоровья.
не только на лопате, у второй группы уже ДВС применялся для бурения.
И чем это они бедные? Если ты офисный планктон, который тяжелее ручки и листа формата А4 не держал, то не стоит всех мерить своей линейкой.
Я ебашу каждый день так что тебе не снилось.Ты поработай так как они,каждый день в этой грязи.Я пять месяцев работал каждый день в дождь, мороз.Землю в мороз ломом пробивали , канализации,воду, газ вели и это каждый день по 12часов.Я пять месяцев ,а они всю жизнь.
Может им нужно пожелать приобрести специальную технику для выполнения донного вида работ? Ну , а здоровья пожелать, конечно можно и нужно любому человеку в любой сфере деятельности. Если они сами хотят лопатой, ведром и верёвкой копать колодец как до нашей эры, то тут уж некого винить.
Видеть заработать в их краях на оборудование не так легко,ну и в любом случае работа такая ,каждый день одно и тоже земля ,камни.
@08:28 From here it looks like the inner tube is drilling, causing the outer casing to sink, but if they only have a hoist, how was it rotating?
Unless the ground was really soft, and as they lifted mud, it sank?
Would of been nice to see more details, the one shot of the bottom I did not see a trap door to allow it to fill with the loose sediment.
I love the hard hats and steel-toe-capped safety boots...
LOL !
Extremely fast, 12 minutes ;-)
I cant see any time that tells me how long it took to build.
German translation of the title says it was surprisingly fast, but in the video is not shown how long it took.
Could be days, weeks, months............... i dont know.........
This is amazing all that work done with very minimal machinery
9:20 great jazz drumming
How does that drill in the 2nd clip work?!
Thirteen minutes to dig a well!!! Freaking amazing.
Wow these guys sure put in a good days work! great craftsmanship and I like how they have bare feet. One day of this kind of hard work would probably put me in my grave😂
Maybe they are POW's ...get no shoes or dinner if cook boss not happy.
Im a big muscular gringo and I had to dig out some enviro-latrines due to design failures in Suchitoto, El Salvador. I was working with some locals and I was much bigger them. they started digging and after about 10 minutes, I asked to join in. Man, I stabbed the ground as hard as I could and it was like cement. Those little guys were MUCH stronger in their hands than I was. THe workers there demolish buildings and roads by HAND: They were just laughing at how soft I was.
Полная механизация ручного труда 😂👍
Кувалда Лопата трубы специальные и мешки из клиёнки и трактор самый слабый белорус 15 лошадей. Внизу центробежный насос видимо качать будет периодически на соседний высокий неглубокий колодец отстойник без фильтра. После завершения работ думаю будет красивее сверху. Так как у них нет пилильных устройств блоков камня то использовали кирпичи что менее долговечное.
Great job, men! I would very good at watching. 🙂
Fantastic and creative idea😍
Сдаётся мне что им в руки попал чертёж маяка. Только они его кверх ногами смотрели.
Если судить по тому какой ширины они вырыли колодец, то так оно и было.
Just watching these guys work makes my back hurt. Interesting video, thanks
I always wondered how the ancient people built complicated and architecturally challenging structures, and here I am watching these two guys make something like this in 21st century with only innovative tools. I have nothing
Damn 21 century I like stone age 😂 because everything was free during stone age haha 🤣

It's astounding and hypnotic to watch these men carve an incredibly Symmetric hole that's ~12 FEET in diameter and ~35 Feet deep, with 'cave man' tools.... BRAVO !
Hypnotic yes I agree entirely,well put.
After all that, they had the lighthouse plans upside down.
Need to shore up the sides in case of a cave in during digging, or it's lights out.
Wow! A well that will last for generations and be sustainable. Way to go!
I admire their hard work and ingenuity, BUT, what happens if the dirt caves in around them, and they''re 35' below the surface ? That's DANGEROUS !
You are right about that. Good job being intelligent.
Man! What a tedious pain-in-the-ass! These guys are incredibly patient and tireless workers!
Чрезвычайно изобретательные строители?))) Бери больше - кидай дальше!))) Великое изобретение!)))
You have to wonder how many times those wells caved in on the men down in the bottom of the well. The Health and Safety board would have a field day fining everybody if digging for a well was dug like this in a first world country.
13 минут два колодца. быстрее я не видел. Ну и конечно же изобретательность строителей на высоте. Копать лопатой я бы ни за что не догадался.
Если смотреть на скорости 1.5, то выкопают они еще быстрее

If you did that in the US, the federal government would tax you on a well-completion fee and an annual usage fee. Plus, the EPA would be on your case every other day.
Same in Germany + a fine of Up to 50 grant €
прикольно, выкопали колодец и потом пробурили в нём скважину, а копали наверно, что бы меньше было сверлить

И что то я воды так и не увидела
@@олясмирнова-у3н из там несколько миллиардов, вся вода выпита давно.
Any sudden top soil collapse all diggers will be buried alive. Very dangerous!! No side wall stiffening to prevent soil collapse!!
You cwn tell just by your eyes that's not soil that will collapse easily, and they're digging pretty wide.
Very unlikely something will happen.
I have broken rock by hand... this is a brutal video to watch, my hat is off to them...I cannot imagine doing this long term for a living...
On the second well, could someone explain the drilling method we are seeing? It appears a steps keeps getting left out.
yea i didnt understand how it was boring either
No Bud light there and only real men on site...Respect as Labor Day approaches
Молодцы! Шикарные строители!!! Замечательные парни!!!!😁
Это кликбейт, чушка
Note: this is hard, valuable, skilled work done BY MEN for the benefit of the WHOLE COMMUNITY.
We need to use real examples like this to remind those who go on about 'toxic masculinity' just what real men do.
А когда с перемотками смотришь, тогда ещё быстрее получается копать колодец!
копаю, копают, а воды так и нет .
Хороший коммент))
Видать не первый колодец копают, спецы.
That just looks like hard work. Very impressive.
Да действительно! Очень изобретательно, просто техническая революция!!! Лопатами колодец копать. Ролик так назвали чтобы хоть кто то посмотрел.
