What would be the best way to do each of these operations? Again, the pipe will be a little over 2 feet long.

Thanks.
Turning this could be a little tricky. My lathe at home will not allow a 1-1/4" diameter piece thru the head stock so I wouls have to turn it on centers. You will have to make plugs for the end of the pipe to provide support for the dead/live centers.
