You could make the frame from square brass tubing and other dimensional shapes, then add lead where suitable, including inside of the hollow members.

Caveat..........Molten lead, and the solder used in making the brass frame, ...have the same "melting point"( unless you use a high melting point silver based solder ).....insure the frame parts are adequately supported, in place, before pouring the lead.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
