How to revolve a profile with angle?

I want to model a comic-ish cactus. A trunk with some branches.

 

I revolved this sketch to create the shape of the trunk

Then I used the pipe tool on the outline and applied a circular pattern and came up with this

Now I want to create some very simple branches that look basically like this

They shall look like the trunk. I've tried to apply the exact same procedure as with the trunk. But that failed because I could not revolve the whole branch at once because of the axis.

 

Then I've tried to use the pipe tool on a single line forming the branch. That worked but I wasn't able to add the pipes on the outside because I couldn't add a sketch plane neither I was able to project the pipe I created before.

 

What can I do to solve this?

I've attached an export of my model.

 

Thank you

I may not have picked the dimensions you want but the concept you can use is in the model timeline.
