OK. You're using a rather archaic verb form for the past tense of cast. That's what threw me.

Interesting about the lead and weight.I never heard of that.There is sheet lead used for sound deadener and flashing. Might be .050? I have used that.
I suppose rawhide might work...long as the weather was nice.
