Fillet between planes

First of all, thank you to all who volunteer your time to help new users like myself.

I am trying to draw a washer bottle from a classic car. Here's a photo of said bottle:


For the most part, it a simple hollow cylinder. However, see how it has the smaller diameter band? That's one part that is giving me fits.
The method I have been trying is to create three different size circles for the three sections, then extruding them.  However, I need to soften the transitions on the band, so was trying to use a fillet.  I can't seem to figure out how to that -- it won't "connect" the two different plans, and instead the fillet goes the wrong way, as can be seen here:



Here's a link to my document:

Thanks for any help!

Scott, you will need to edit the extrusions and choose the ADD option rather than NEW.
That will join all the cylinders into one solid and you can then apply the fillets as needed.

Dave is correct. A fillet will not cross parts. It will place fillets on the edge of a part. Here is one method of many to generate what your looking for.

Thank you! Wow, seemingly so simple and elementary, yet so important a concept. Duh... ADD to the part! 

Using this knowledge and a bit more I picked up, I was able to construct what I believe is a faithful reproduction of the bottle:
