    Draw a Sketch the size of the springs diameter. The click on Insert -
    Curve - Helix/Spiral.

    Go from there. Fairly easy, as there are few options to getting it right.

    Create a helix and sweep a circle around it.

    SolidWorks 2005 has a sweep with twist. You no longer have to create a
    helix.
