Subject: How do you fabricate a seamless cone?

I'm working on a project in my TIG welding class that calls for a
Stainless Steel (304) cone with 15" OD top and 1" OD bottom and a
heigth of about 1 foot. I would rather not try to make this from a
pattern and bend it since its going to be difficult to get the bottom
of the cone formed. 

Is there another way to get a seamless cone by some other process? Who
would I talk to in order to have this built?

I had cones done by the exhaust-fan-and-wood-stove-guy; they went from about 
3" to 1" in 5 and 8 inches; he did a real nice job for $100, then I took 'em 
to a welder and paid another 100 to get the whole expansion chamber done.

Look fo a guy with a shop that is 30 years old.  In Vancouver it's King Sheet 
metal on Hastings.
