6. When the mine is completely ready, level bottom of well and pump out excess water. Establish the first frame from the strongest and thick logs. If soil weak, under the first frame enclose big stones.

7. Vertically establish wreath, for more exact results use level. Over the first wreath lay the second that they were fixed better, press the top part blows of special wooden hammer. Seams between wreaths should be closed up with clay.
