A Worthy Cause
Glenn if I put this in the wrong place please move it for me Thanks I thought this may be of interest to you all. Jessie Ward (a very talented artist, blacksmith and farrier, her brother runs a well known farrier school outside of Martinsville, VA if I remember correctly) called me a few days ago and offered me a chance to go to Tanzania where she went to do some paintings at the orphanage there last year. We will be making security bars for doors and windows on a medical center (to open Fall 2009 and serve 1000+ people daily) in Ntagacha, Tanzania (this is between the Serengeti National Game Reserve and Lake Victoria near the Kenyan border). This is missionary work and will probably be more functional than forged work involved. Nevertheless I am thrilled to be going. We will be leaving on 03/08/09 and won't be back until around the 1st of April. Here's a link to where we're going if you're interested: Teamwork Ministries :: City of Hope After her trip last year Jessie had told me that the people in this village have almost nothing and have only recently been able to have safe water to drink. I think this is a very worthy cause if anyone would like to donate either monetarily or their time as this is the first af several centers planned in Africa. I just couldn't turn down this trip of a lifetime. JW Motley

What to use to take off pitting?
I totally agree with TASMITH, as many nooks and crannies as you have this would be your best bet. IF you have air compressor.
