[TheForge] re corkscrew

This approach might not leave a "hole" down the center of the corkscrew helix.  But if you take two or three rods and wrap them on a mandrel, you might get the effect you want.

Alternatively, make an auger-type corkscrew.  Not as elegant, perhaps, but they also work.

Take two rods and twist together. When cold untwist and you have two
helix shapes. Bob
