Today I melt some lead!

in #forge8 years ago (edited)

Hello my dear steemit friends!

First I must say this is the second time I post this...because I posted it last night and ....somehow when I was close to the end...I pressed the clear button and I destroyed all my work
So with that being said lets continue ....
I had a dream of a face, more exact a mask from metal. So I started to think what is the best way to create this....and boom.. it hit me ... USE LEAD!
First...I wake up because I was still sleeping ...of Pamela Anderson in her 20th birthday.... (I know this makes me a old guy ...but hey.... Pamela is still in my dreams!)
I often fantasised that I am at her birthday and she is trying to blow the candles...but with no success:
She says:

  • O my God the candles dont stop burning!
    And me:
  • Keep blowing Pamela!
    ....I know I am a pig ...but this is my fantasy...Pamela at her 20 th birthday...uff ...Baywatch...I miss the old days.
    Ok...but ...let's get back to our story!
    And so I took a lead pipe and cut it

After this I took my tools and went to the beach

There I started a small fire and I put a iron cup over the fire.

forge part zero

In just a few minutes It started to look like this:

In these next photos you can see a wave of fire that I managed to catch with my phone (samsung j3)




forging part one

In that time I created a face on the sand .

And ofter that I put the melted lead on the drawn face on the sand.

The result was this!

It seems I needed more lead but still I got a awesome result!!


This kind of looks like a bow ( in the right corner up)

After that I took some more lead that I melted and made something else.

I just took a seashells and put some coins inside and put lead on top of them.

Well that was my story for today,I hope you liked it and thank you for reading my post!

Congratulations friend @ cynetyc by this mention

@cynetyc, careful with lead - are you sure it's lead? or nickel?
if it's lead - you'd better be careful - some studies and findings here say it has something to do with a disease called ALS stay away from it !

Thanks @englishtchrivy for the advice!
The lead absorbs radiation so it is olso radioactive...but in this case I only use a small part of it and in a very big distance!
After I melted the lead...outside....I put it in a very cold place...the sand
This causes the lead to become hard and take the shape that I want.
After that I will melt and melt again the lead...each time when the lead is mealted it release the radiation inside....and in the same time I do it outside not in a close environment.

⚠️ Lead when burned, the fumes becomes lead oxide, Very Toxic Fumes. A trigger in cancer apparently.

Bravo! My friend @ cynetyc, bought his dream, who would not, excellent post congratulations, I appreciate your time to visit my post thank you very much, until any time

Thank you @jlufer for your kind words!

That's the worst when you accidentally press the clear button! I also did that once when I was almost finished with a post. Thankfully, the Steemit team is working to change that.

O yeah @shenanigator I would love to see a save button or something like that in the future ...because the way that I am writing in the present is just typing and save into a word file and then type again and copy and ....if I press clear....restart and type again and again...
Would be great to see some improvement in the future for that as well.
PS: I usually dont make so silly mistakes...but it was 2.45 am when I was writing and ..I was so close to finish...and boom ...ALL GONE...So I whent to sleep and the next day... I started over after 2 coffees .
