How can I create an angle cut out of a cylinder? (sort of like a needle)

I’m brand new to Onshape. I’ve used 2D animation apps before, and have gone through a few tutorials to make pretty basic shapes.
I’m curious how I would make the device below. It’s a hallowed out cylinder that needs an angled slice (sort of like a needle), and has an arm protruding out of it at an angle.
I started by my making a 2d version of the “Top View” and bottom view and extruded it out, but I couldn’t figure out how to modify that in any way to resemble the shape of the side view. I included a snapshot of my failed attempt below.
thanks!

@steve_shubin I just realized you finished my part for me. You sir, are a true friend of Narnia. I’m going to follow the history and see if I can learn how to do what you did.
Glad to hear it helped.
Originally I tried 10 mm on the offset, but it looked too thick compared to what you sketched in your notes. So that’s why I made the offset 7 mm. But yeah you got it figured out
To get the so-called chamfer, I tried using the chamfer tool, draft angle, sweep. But nothing gave the results I believe you were looking for. So I used loft. It took 9 steps in the features list to accomplish this so called ‘loft’. If somebody knows a more economical way to do it, let me know. It hasn’t come to my mind yet
TYPO CORRECTION
