Hmmm, these are all good suggestions and I thank you for them. But I have a bad feeling that I am going to run into some major problems later on if I don't start correcty.

I was nieve in thinking that I could just make a ploy cylinder, squash it and pull out the teeth. There is more to it than I expected, I need to make the teeth smooth and rounded, I need to make holes in it (as you can see from the pic) ect.

If you guys know of a tutorial I will be most greatful (long shot I know)
