  1. Several year ago I drilled myself a 21 foot well. For the first 12 feet, until I hit the water level, I made a crude but easy using auger to dig down. At a hardware store I got an 4 inch auger anchor used for tying down trailers. I cut the top end off and had a 1/2 inch female galvanized nipple welded to top. I than used a 1/2 inch tee and 12 inch pieces of 1/2 galvanize to make a handle. I place and turned the auger around lifting out 4 to 6 inches of dirt. When I got to bottom, I extended the handle using 3 foot section galvanized, and continued adding 3 foot sections until got to where digging, I could not go down anymore. This is when you hit wet sand at the water table. This has drilled the dry sand of many wells in this community.
