We did our own well in Fl as kids.
Built an A frame over the spot. Put a screened tip on the first pipe. Used a weight mounted on a larger pipe, hung from the A frame with a block.
My brother and I could lift the weight and drop it on the pipe, using the line and block.
Lift , drop, lift , drop, a few inches at a time.

It took us a few afternoons to get down to the water. About 25' down.

This was in Fl so mostly sand to go thru.
This was an artisan well so pumped its self.
