Single point threading is extremely easy and nothing to worry about. I would take the suggestion earlier mentioned regarding practicing on some PVC pipe it works like a charm.
one of the best tutorials on the web for single point threading has beed done by Tubial Cane Here is the link

A little advice, your going to get a little flustered achieving the minor diameter at first, its very hard to measure if you have not done it before, the offset compound will get you there if everything works well, dont forget if you get close you could always finish it off with a die there is no shame in that.
Enjoy your threading,, let us know how you get on.
