Note: It is important to switch between 2D wireframe and conceptual to clearly visualize how the 3D object functions.

add another cylinder with the same radius as the previous one with a height .1 and also make it into a shell

do this 2 more times with cylinders with a radius at least 0.5 units smaller each time (also make them into shells), add a base to the bottom slightly smaller than the shell below

create a shell of a cylinder (4 units) and place it perpendicularly to the previous object

add a cylinder directly in the middle with a radius of 3.9 units and a height of 0.5 units (tilt as desired)
