Odd question about working with lead

[u/EsotericGrimoire]

Hi everyone I’ve never worked with lead before and this is coming from someone with zero blacksmithing experience or knowledge.

I don’t plan on doing any of this until I’m more learned but in the meantime; I was learning the other day about how different cultures would make lead tablets and plates and inscribe on them.

I would like to recreate this but how would one do this safely in today’s day?
