Paul,
I appreciate the offer. I have been playing around with the welder and angle grinder this weekend and think I have got this covered. I will post pictures soon of my handwork, shaping pipe into cone shape by cutting 16 slots was tedious but the results turned out well after welding and grinding down the high spots. Just waiting on some 2” perf metal tubing to arrive this week to finish up. If this does not turn out as planned I will email you the details on what I need.
More to follow in a few days
