Default Spiraling Square Stock

Did a google search on "twisting+square+bar"
Got some good ideas.

Years ago, I met a Mr. Brown in Greenfield, MA. He was demonstrating his

just
completed pnuematic "bar winder". I have wished several times I had paid

better
attention to its design. When he hit "Go" a slide went down the bar and

formed
it (twisted it) VERY quickly. Very uniformly, as well. I'm afraid he's

joined
the list of lost resources by now.
Respectfully,

I want to spiral some small square stock. Probably 1/4" and 3/8"


dimension.

What is the easiest practical way to do this? Hold one end in a vise

and
twist the other with a crescent? How do I keep the whole thing

straight,
