I am trying to make a through tube that ends at a hole.

I have tried making the hole and then making the tube and I get "Unable to perform Boolean".

I have tried making the tube and then making a hole/cylinder/extruding a circle through to the tube face and I always get "Tool and Body do not intersect".

See pictures below. In this case, I have first made my hole and am now trying to make my tube.

 
Your picture has not helped much. You need to show exactly what you mean by a "tube" and a "hole". I see neither here. Can you create the "tube" and the "hole" without performing the Boolean so that we can at least see what it is that you're attempting to join together? Also, are you attempting to perform a Boolean 'Unite' or a 'Subtract'?
