After work I put some more time in on the lathe after watching some more of TomG's videos. I got almost .25" off the diameter of the stock so I really feel like I have accomplished something 
According to my calculations my final OD will be 1.2" with a total length of (IIRC) 4.35"
I will have to check the drawing but it is hung up next to the lathe for reference. I probably should have made a copy rather than using the original
For those that are watching thanks for watching and I really feel like this thing will take shape this weekend. Maybe not completed but look like the final product externally.
