You are an amazing man and I enjoy watching your videos so much that I go back and watch some more than once. I am fascinated by the way you just don't let anything seem to bother you, you find another way to do what your are doing. I can't imagine living so close to the Arctic Circle and surviving but apparently many people do. I live in the south U S and your 50º F is chili here and warm to you. I'm just in awe of all you do. Thank you
You certainly know how to make it difficult for yourself. A 6” diamond core bit would have made mincemeat of it ideally drilled from the outside in before lowering the concrete ring into the hole.
Swedish self-reliance! Excellent and thanks for the video! ...you must also have an all access pass to all the heavy equipment in your town - airport, quarry, supply yard, etc. Cool.
Just wondering why you didn't dig a bit deeper, lay a foot or two of washed stone at the bottom for filteration, then build up with the concrete and surround it with the rock as you are doing??
😅l
Call me a smartass for saying I would have cut the hole before putting the ring down there! Still, you are a one man show of DIY determination!
I Thought it was funny that the poor little car is still under the conveyor! 😁
I absolutely admire your camera work in addition to your equipment knowledge.
The tilt/rotator is such a versatile piece of equipment...👍
It sure is a good thing to have
Oh wow yall high a high water table there. We lived very close to the Mississippi River. And our wells had to go down 150 feet with a 48 inch pipe. To feed our pivots on the big one that cover all most 700 acers it had to have a 56 inch I believe. Our old house next to farm headquarters our water well for the house was about 20 foot. And had the best water you could get. It was very cool but not to cold to drink and enjoy. Seeing how it was in all most pure sand did a great job as a filter.
I think the main reason I like this guy too is he does things that you would never get away with in the states.
That swivel attachment is quite handy!
Great job, thx a lot for showing!
👍👍👍
Best work and the respect I’ve seen for equipment I’ve ever seen.And I’m 72 years old . Been there and done that
I stopped the video at 41:00 and thought you hit that cement so much you were driving to get dynamite! I was laughing out loud. Thanks for buying the drone and all the camera equipment you would not have bought unless you were making these videos for us. I do appreciate it. Thank You Mattias
I sure thought about doing that. Thanks Brian!
Football in the summer and hockey rink with boards in the winter, great idea there!
Normal in scandinavia. Maybe 40 years been that way.
That truck is amazing! Being able to pull that machine up like that.
Hooklift trucks are truly amazing.
They are usually capable of lifting/pulling WAY more than a medium sized excavator. There are containers that have a capacity of 30 to 35 cubicmeters and if those are filled with dirt, rubble or other stuff that can weigh easily a few tons.
Those rings are made of high quality concrete!:D Great job!
I am impressed by your handling of the equipment and the filming. Excellent job on both!! Very hard concrete, BTW.
Thanks!
5516 of the video. That truck bed is cambered to accept load. You bent it when you loaded from the side. o7 fren.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM
@@joseywales7525 He knows ;)
Thank you for taking us along for the project...handling all the filming adds a lot to the job, and then the editing etc. Thank you.
Be aware! The bottom of the well is a confined place, and you should do something to prevent asphyxia when using gas powered rock breaker.
Love the show !keep it coming
Man that swivel head attachment is an awesome bit of kit. Love how you clean your gear up. Another great job Matthias
I so desperately want to move to whatever economy this dude is living in, the sense of community displayed in these videos genuinely has me shook. How do you just go to the local giant quarry, grab the keys to the loader and take what you want? Its obviously not *your* operation and you already have a rock crusher on your own but just the fact that you all work together as a community to support eachothers projects is just so... dreamy. Its really frustrating that I cant even imagine what my life would be like with this level of support network. I'm so envious. Your channel is really giving me a mid life crisis over here.
This is Sweden for you
Sweden specifically, but I think most of Scandinavia is pretty similar. Also, I still can't figure out exactly what his job is, but I'm pretty sure that gives him some of the privileges he has. I know he does some work with the airport, but also lots of other stuff.
@@Studio23Media He is a self employed contractor. He does a lot of work on the forest roads, there are plenty of videos of that. There he is working for the land owners. That work includes using the same gravel to service those roads. My guess is a phone call was all that was needed. But it is not a case of come one, come all.
After all, only so many people will have access to the keys!
Work flawlessly +10years, know people, call them, have privileges. We have this thing called trust here.
@@swedishpsychopath8795 You absolute vermin, a daddies boy would never be able to keep up with the labor this dude puts out.
I love to see that "Big stretch" is a universally human thing to say. 😂
It's funny hearing a Swedish guy say, "Ain't." I always thought that was American only slang term!
When you hit your hand, I winced aswell, 🤬 think we've all been there. So that's where Rudolf hides out when he's not pulling Santa's sleigh. 🤣😂👍🤗
You must have a very high water table to go no deeper than that for well. My bored well went down another 50' from that and never runs out of water.
I have small Rectangle Shape pieces of thick cardboard that I put at the Sharp edges of the Strap. It’s a Law Here In The USA for Not having Your Load Secured Properly. Other then the sharp edge of the Deck the Tie Down was Great. We have a Construction Company andWe Use Takeuchi Over Here. We Love Their Equipment, It’s so Popular Here that Takeuchi is Building a Manufacturing Plant In The State Georgia.
Who else thought he was going to dig deeper?
Me
Underhållande och lärorikt 😀🇸🇪👍🏻
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them!
The next day: "Dad, we don't like skating anymore!" 😅
I don't believe that hole is near deep enough but you are the expert in your country good job
Love the detachable flat bed.
Ask the fire department for a hose. This is the best edge protection. Very durable, flexible and takes up little space. Always have pieces of hose in the truck to protect my tension belts and the load.
I felt your pain with the short chisel. I keep a long medium chisel and long narrow chisel in my tool bags.
Cutting off a stub of pipe makes it a lot easier to mark your hole.
Once you have your hole cut, you can make more holes inside and use the chisel to break out chunks with wedge action, it doesn't take much to get started.
Will do that next time
Just because he works with trucks and construction equipment does not make him to a Camarata. Bjoenstroem is a proud Swedes guy who does his own work and doesn't copy anyone.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEMjust drill the hole before you lower the pipe down into the hole
Felicitaciones.
Su habilidad manual me da ENVIDIA .
Sana obvio.
I think the weather well is not deep enough . For our water well we hire professional guy who do this for living . And he hit the water after three concrete ring he said this water is no good for drinking . He don't use machine he uses a little shovel and he was inside concrete ring digging the dirt out . He dig 11 ring deep and he hit a gravel and water start getting in . Each concrete ring was one yard high . He told us that the water is now good for drinking and he don't dig deeper . He use a tripod with the block to put concrete ring on the top of each other and when he dig concrete ring under own weight go down . And between the ring he put cement to sell so unwanted water will not get into the water wheel .
I guess you couldn’t hold your breath long enough 😂. Thank you for sharing your project
Thought about getting my snorkel and connecting it to a hose when doing that
You need a portable axle extractor fan and a flexible duct = the duct is fitted to the outake of the fan, and the other end is hung down the side of the hole/restricted space, then with the intake of the fan facing away from the hole and quite a distance from it and switched on = the fan will blow clean air down the hole - an air supply, and you would be able to use that petrol drill for much longer. I knew that dust mask wouldn’t work for the fumes
great video ❤: the well is at the same level as the spring. if he dug the well deeper than spring, more water in well
That is seriously impressive concrete. I thought for sure they’d crack with the drops. Great video! Hello from Perth Australia 😀
Bad ass flatbed truck 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nice video M. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully they will get enough water.
Hello friends, greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hi there!
Always great to see your notification come up! Great video. Your always doing different things! Don’t you hate it when your doing a job and trying to make do with the tools you have when you have another tool that would make it easier but it’s way over there on another job or back at the shop. 🥴😀 👍👍👍
Nice work again, thank you for the video. It's so easy to relate to your videos as a Finn as everything is so similar as here - the machines, the ways of working, the attitude of people and so on. I just hammer drilled a hole in a well ring on my yard last week, now it was surprisingly relaxing to just watch someone else fight with the same thing 😀
Why didn't you use the cordless hammer drill in hammer mode? Wrestling with the Pionjär in horizontal work is horrible, no need to go to the Cross Fit gym after that.
Thanks, yeah it's really hard using the pionjär in that position. It was in hammer mode?
He probably meant hammer only mode where the drill doesn't rotate and you use sds-chisel or sds-spike to break the chunks away. They are really cheap so i recommend buying them. Makes the job soo much easier and you don't need that monster drill for these kinds of jobs anymore.😊@@M.BJOERNSTROEM
I was worried when you were strapping down the concrete rings and didn't say "That ain't going nowhere."
I was thinking that, if it counts
if i may, i was a plumber for 20 years before i broke my back. when you were punching your hole through, you could have drilled a few more holes inside the area you wanted to remove, a bit more mindless work with the drill, but it takes some of the "tension" out of it and gives the concrete you are trying to break somewhere to go. not sure im making sence but had done it many many times working in sewer man holes.
I've never seen a truck like that in the states. Interesting. Not sure it's better than a trailer but if you have issues with length restrictions and tight spaces then it make sense.
Have you seen the trucks that pick up 40 cu. yd. refuse containers? it's pretty much the same thing.
@@dryroasted5599 not the same.
Awsum Job Man !!!!..... I hope you shared your lunch with the moose !!!! Hopefully happy kids on ice.!!!😉😎
Good job can't wait for the next video thanks again 🙏👍
Оригинальные методы работы у вас, у нас в России немного по другому🙂
Brother, your videos are top notch, I see them here in Brazil, in fact you do everything and you have a machine for everything, what do you mean and you know how to do everything kkkk 👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you!
Perfecte hard werkende man super uitgelegd geweldig dikke 10🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I wish you’d build a more durable bed for the truck. That one flexes like a banana!
I bought steel to do that, so it's going to be done
Take care of your eqipment and it will take care of you.
When you were trying to bust through for the pipe, you should have drilled a row of holes down the center as well and the piece would have easily broken out. As it was the webs of concrete around the entire circle was supporting the whole piece you were trying to break.
then again, it was probably thicker than I thought.
You should have made the hole before you put the concrete section in the hole, but you probably realize that now.
Cliff
would be best to make a vent for the second compartment.
How did I miss this one? Juhonpieti, awesome!
Ive feel following this channel for like 2weeks now. Does he have like a big ass property or is he filming his work? Is all the equipement his? Soooo many questions.
anyway, i love the Swedish accent, it makes me happy, they are always singing. Also like the content btw!
The property is not mine, but the machines are. Some of the work is hobby and some is work. Thanks!
And it's when you are putting the last bucket of soil, u realize that u forgot your tools down in the concrete ring 😂
Terimakasih sudah berbagi video yang sangat menarik ini
about the hole, next time try drill the middle of the hole in a X or + shape. It wont damage the walls so much :) other than that....very interesting videos :)
That’s an awesome and interesting truck. Don’t see many like that here in the United States. Also job also, enjoyed your video.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Дрель алмазного сверления решит проблему потери времени и сил!!!!
I'm glad I found/subscribed to your channel. No metal music/cussing/mocking Jesus-just a hard worker that knows how to enjoy himself at the same time, proving once again that a little explosives are a good thing. 😂 I don't usually like long videos, but yours go by so quick their done before I know it. Btw, is the Volvo's odometer accurate i.e., 563,142 km [349,920 mi]? I know it's a diesel, but still-considering the climate you're in that's really good. God bless.
Excellent cinematography! Right up there with the best of Breaking Bad. How about an underground laboratory?
Please Please use some kind of buddy system when going down a hole! Would hate to see something happen to you.
OMG - A reindeer! How often do you get to see them? He did not seem that scared of you when you walked up. I am envious, I would love a chance to get that close to a reindeer!
Could you clarify how the water from the second concrete rings get into the first concrete rings?
Once again a entertaining video thank you for creating and sharing!
❤
Thanks! They are everywhere, you see them walking around here all the time.
Not sure how to explain that better. But when the surrounding water is emptied the pressure will force the water out the bottom since its not sealed in any way.
The water travels through the ground between the two new reservoirs.
I'm no hydraulic engineer, but here's my take:
The pump in the old well is more than enough for a modest house like this. We saw how much water it can supply when the excavator was being washed. The problem is that the well can't keep up with the pump. A well retrieves water from ground water beneath and from under the well walls. Both new wells work the same way. The first new well is now directly connected to the old well, so the potential new flow rate achievable by the old well is governed by that pipe, which is easily capable of keeping up with the pump. The first new well must have maybe ten times the potential flow rate of the first, because it is well over three times the diameter. More than enough to keep up with the pump. The second well was an afterthought, we saw that. I can't see much in the way of a gain unless a new pump was installed with a much higher flow rate. If a need arises, I think those covers will come off, and a pipe will be installed between the two new reservoirs. Maybe we'll see in a few years!
It's not wild reindeer, they are half tame and they all have an owner
@komocaka thank you for the information!
Being a Texas boy, I would not know that at all!
Plus with this heat wave that is going on I am willing to go somewhere cooler!😃
@@nicktecky55 - thanks for the information….
I understood the pipe linking them, but was unsure about the second structure
Just found your channel scrolling through videos. Cool video! Where are you from? I'm in the US in Tennessee and have a excavation channel as well. By the way that is a nice way to haul that excavator...
Sam
Get a core bore bit for that size of pipe and use the roterary drill with a extension for the bit then you can drill to the other pit also in line with both holes ! Love your videos ! By the way you have better equipment than Andrew camarata ! Even those he has more of it ! Keep the videos coming enjoy them much !
I'd guess that he either works for the city/county or is independently wealthy. I think Andrew simply likes having and fixing old equipment. He's a millionaire, but still buys older equipment.
@@ClinttheGreat Senza offesa per nessuno, penso che Andrew, avrebbe comprato una trivella per pozzi, facendo un lavoro più mirato e pulito.
WOW, Now that's some truck! Awesome. :)
Exactly! I can't pronounce your name, M. Bj, so from now on you're Andrew Camarata of Northwest Europe! 😃😁👌👍
Well done great video thank you for sharing
can you tell us the horsepower , torque , and displacement of your truck engine and mfger ? Also , what is is the maximum amount of weight in pounds it can carry ? The takeahuchi is close to 30,000 lbs I believe .
Is this kind of work what you do for a living to pay for all your other personal construction projects ?
Free water for the kids 👍
I think it would have worked just to lay the concrete tubes in there horizontally below the water line and cut a hole in the well pipe. But I'm sitting here in my recliner while you're out there doing it.
Fajna koparka 😊
I see you have another truck (Volvo). Did she have a similar universal cargo box or did you churn it from a MAN?
I admire your work, ideas and their implementation.
Regards,
Thanks, yes just bought it, making a seperate video about that. The truck bed im using here is the one i got with the MAN truck.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Hi, you may need to add an extending bumper bar at the rear so drivers don't get killed if they crash into the rear of the truck. That bed is extending quite far out. I think this is European legislation, so probably also applies to Sweden.
Nice work on the well :)
you should prepare the hole before putting the concrète tubes in place!!!! easyer to work
Wait wait wait... You had access to the jackhammer the whole time but sat there for all that time with the hand chisel? lol... My guy.
Thanks for sharing your project. Why does the well need such a wide hole? Is it for winter ice?
Thats correct. The rink will be covered with a big sheet of ice.
Vad jag inte fattar är varför du inte grävde djupare när du kom ner till lite vatten, när du ändå höll på med gräveriet?😳 Det hade blivit mer flöde då. Trodde faktiskt att du skulle byta skopa och gräva längre ner i första ringen..
För att befintlig pump inte skulle flyttas, såg därför ingen anledning att lägga mer jobb på att få ner den under pumpnivå.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Om nu idrottsföreningen "kostar på" en brunns grävning, skulle en Jektorpump bli en försumbar utgift, för idrottsplatsen. Så tänker jag 😊
Ursäkta Google Translate:
Jag tror inte det. Han uppnår effekten med att röret förbinder det nya med det gamla. Om den gamla brunnen var dubbelt så djup skulle vattnet vara två meter djupare, flödeshastigheten genom området av brunnens botten förblir densamma.
Apologies for Google Translate:
I don't think so. He achieves the effect with the pipe connecting the new with the old. If the old well was twice as deep, the water would be two meters deeper, the flow rate through the area of the bottom of the well stays the same.
Hope that you know what there's metal in that as I use to make them
Looks like you are in Sweden or Norway, I used to live in Sweden. Great vid! keep going 🙂
Next time rent a core drill and you’ll save time and hands and with wet cut even rebars can be cutted smoothly
Nice job, was that high clay soil? Just curious I’ve gotta do the same thing in high clay soil.
Thanks, mostly in the bottom the clay started to come
And he always keeps an eye on his a Equipment before hitting the road again! 👍👍👍

I have no idea what you got paid for that job, but it wasn't enough!
Hello from the Netherlands.
did you buy a newer truck? nice Volvo FH12 ?
nice video of a nice project
thanks for the video M.
Sincerely Hollandduck
Hi, yes i bought one more truck. FH12 is correct!
excellent video, just out of curiosity, i am not sure if you have said it before, but is there a reason you push the sprinkler hatch to the side when tipping instead of mounting two bolts on the top, making it into a flap and just dump it straight out?
😅Aaop\😊❤😅wooapa0
Wow,perfect ❤
Those concrete rings are not for well, they are used under te road culvert rings because they have foot. Well rings are round, with out foot. And if using normal well rings, it would be easier to make hole there because well rings are not ave steel inside.
It's clear that they are actually culvert pipes but I'm guessing they got those for free as a donation for the hockey rink. Then you use what you get. And well rings have steel in the concrete too, here in the Nordics.
Jag brukar även borra hål i mitten av betongkakan så många du kan få in, så att det ser ut som en bi kaka.. Då brukar det gå rätt enkelt att slå sönder det "nät" av betong som som finns kvar. Jag förväntade mig nästan att få se dig hämta en dynamit gubbe och blåsa av nere i hålet! 😂❤
Haha var på god väg att göra det, tänkte att en liten rackare borde man nog kunna blåsa av för att underlätta!
Es posible que su video sea subtitulado en Español?
Proper planning, risk assessment and method of work, + a Top Man, would have had the job running more efficiently.
A round diamond hole saw would of done a quick job of it if you did while out of the ground, you gone the long way of doing it. Atl least it got the job done in the end.
Started off okay then I was like wtf by the end
We always use a core drill
You made hard work of that job
👍👍👍👍
Great work !
