Hi everyone,  
Newbie here.

I’m trying to connect 2 holes in a double walled cylinder with a tube. The holes are off axis. The ends of the tube cannot protrude past the outer or inner wall surface. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Peter,  
Here’s a shot from inside and outside of the cylinders. I’m trying to trim the part of the tube that is sticking out.  
I’ll upload the workspace when I learn how.

Yes. Super simple. Impatient newbie haven’t taken the time to explore all the available tools yet.

Oregonian here too.
