Lakeside Foundry

A lakeside foundry is a place where people work to create big, heavy things made out of metal. They use something called a furnace, which is like a really big oven that gets very hot. They put pieces of metal in the furnace until they melt and become a liquid, kind of like how ice cream turns into a liquid when it gets hot.

After the metal is melted, they pour it into a special mold, which is like a container that is the shape of the thing they want to make. They let the metal cool down and harden in the mold, and when they take it out, it becomes a big, solid piece of metal that can be used for different things, like in machines or buildings.

Working in a lakeside foundry can be very hot and dangerous, so the people who work there have to be very careful and wear special clothes and equipment to protect themselves.
