How to make two holes with two shells?

So I wanted to make two holes that are different in size, but when I added the second shell, it turned red and didn't work. I know that you can't make two shells on one extrude, but how to do that? Thanks

The way to accomplish this depends entirely on what you want the inner shaft to look like. Two shells will not work, because on the second shell the system is just attempting to shell out the very small amount of material that you have left on your cylinder. Here is an example of what two separate shells will do to an extrusion:

How do you want this final part to look? What should the wall thickness be at the top end? At the bottom end?
Or if you really wanted to use the shell feature you could offset a plane and split the part at that plane then use 'shell' with shell thicknesses for each part. or??
