It might be destroyed after a few pours but it would make thin flat sheets.

Preheat a shallow baking tray and pour in the amount you need and then
let it cool?

Yes, the pipe organ makers did it like this: They had a leveled surface
plate, placed "dams" in the right place to limit the size and poured lead,
tin or solder in to the desired thickness. There were weights to prevent
the dams from moving.

So, they did it horizontally.
