I have a private dug well on my family farm. The outer casing is a large barrel type cement cover.
I remember other family members having the crank down baskets while growing up, but can not seem to find them available for purchase anywhere. No luck with foxfire, google, cumberland, e-bay. I did manage to find well wheels or pulleys.
But I need to either buy or build the barrel and crank handle used to lower the bucket via cable. I also see the decorative ones at stores, but they are just that.
Maybe a machine shop for the handle. lathe a full timber for the barrel or strips of wood nailed around three or four circular stabilizers.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
