Bucyrus Erie 22W Cable Tool Well Drilling

This is a video of my first time operating a Bucyrus Erie 22W cable tool drilling rig trying to punch a well in at our farm here in Yukon Territory. This first year of drilling I had a lot of problems doing the job but nothing like the following years when trying to improve the well's capacity as all hell broke loose with breakdowns and lost tools down the hole. This has been a real test of how much disappointment a person can take and still keep on trying to make things right. So far, the lottery tickets haven't paid off and it's become a really expensive hole in the ground in which to throw time, effort, and money. I should have had a professional driller do the job and just paid for the well and moved on to other projects that I've not been able to get around to because of all of this work. Live and learn.
