You're forgetting the "fun" part. Also the part about a challenge and
probably the acquiring a new skill. And reading between the lines, I

Using wax in your lead mould should not require any mold release just
warm the mould a wee bit and they should slide tight out. Put a
knotted thread in the end of the pour and you have something to help
pull it out - easy enough to remove before using the "plug"
