So far I have tried creating a helix and wrapping it around the cylinder but it is too thick for what I need and I have no more ideas.
The effect I am looking for is something like this:

I converted one of the edges of the helix to a line however it is still connected to the object and I cannot remove it from the object, what have I done wrong?What you can do is use the helix to get a curve (modify, convert, poligon edge to curve) then douplicate this down then select the two edges and do a surface loft, convert to polys then extrude out..........dave
