This lead organ pipe had several dents. It also needed a new paint.

A metal ball is inserted	Smoothing the dents	Painting..

A well fitting iron ball is inserted on a rod. It works as support when smoothing the dents and dings. Lead is very plastic working with, using a hammer wont work. The dings are rubbed over with the handle of the hammer, thus the hammer was used after all. Having the pipe done, it was painted; a lead surface wil never look good. Tin surfaces are differnt.
And here they are (I had two)
