Are you planning to turn the lead - or steel - or wood as a plug to make a mold or ???
Trying to machine lead in any method other than a body file/coarse rasp is difficult in it’s own right, and I would be worried about the chips, particles and excess cuttings and possible health issues. If you do get your wiish - I suggest a very slow rotation, and a light cut using carbide tool bit. Ummm - and now you will want a grinder with diamond wheel to to sharpen the carbide tip, an acetelyene torch so you can re-braze the carbide tip when the lead “grabs” it.
Get an inexpensive wood lath, make a profile template of your bulb, turn from wood, and then use the wood as a plug to make a mold. Use polyester resin and birdshot/light buckshot to cast the bulb. Shaping is still an issue but maybe less hazardous.
For me? - I’m hoping for one of the new WiFi transmitters that eliminate crystals and limited channels.

I’m getting a new sail arm servo for Christmas, and maybe some carbon fibre cloth for building fins and other cunning little components.

I asked for a Stealth, a Cockatoo, and a Ford GT 40. I was a good boy so I am getting all three.
May have to ask for a ticket to come over and go for a ride… let me know if the GT shows up ![:D]

Got the new IOM, a TS3. I could use one of the following to take the boat to the pond:
a 2005 Mustang with the “Bullitt” exhaust system; a 56 T-Bird (portholes, of course); a 64 Vette (with that one piece back window).
Merry Xmas,

Told Santa to cancel the GT40. I have speed bumps in my condo, at the park where I sail big and model boats, at the mall, I don’t know where I could drive it or store it? Pout! I sold 7 muscle cars and hot rods and 2 motor cycles when I moved to Hawaii.
