You are very close....
You are very close to turning you first piece of wood. 
I didn't see any turning tools, but it looks like you have both ends of what you need. A little Evaporust and you are like new. Look for a set of turning tools on Craigslist. Buy a starter set and learn from there. Stop by a new home construction site and ask for the 2x4 scraps. A great place to start. Cut the 2x4's in half length wise and have some fun. Good luck and keep us posted.
