Could you not spin up the cone on a lathe in wood and just form the sheet material over that in two halves and seam weld it ? Even if you found someone to roll this it will end up being seam welded in one place so it may be worth having a go yourself. Just thoughts

might have to go this route. But it's a last choice. I have a few other work around ideas as well. Like tacking the center of each end on the desired radius of another pipe. The force it down and tack, tack, tack until both ends are wrapped around the pipes. Then cut them off after I seem weld it... if that makes any sense.
But the problem is, the shape I actually want isn't a concentric cone where the ends are centered with eachother. I would like the ends (circles) to be tangent. This would not be able to be made on a lathe unfortunately.
