    Creating a cone is easy, as many people have offered up formulas and
    I won't bother to repeat what I do as it is similar, depending on
    how exact you want the cone to turn out. 

    The problem I have always had is how to join the sides neatly for
    soldering, especially at the point, and then once it is soldered how
    to beautifully and neatly get it back into shape. I've tried
    different mandrels, cone shaped tools I've come across in hardware
    stores, etc, and nothing really does a good job. I have seen many
    examples of industrial looking metalwork with perfectly formed cones
    and I have always wondered how they did it. If any of those artists
    are lurking here, would they mind sharing their secrets? 

Thanks,
Grace
