Hi Curt, 
I think what you're looking for is a Spring Winding Tool.  Take a look at this
item offered from MSC:

http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=1759558&PMT4NO=471498

It works fairly well, holding the wire, maintaining tension and maintaining
pitch.  On the same page and the previous page of the catalog, MSC has two
different spring wire assortments.  You might as well get one of each so you'll
have the material on hand.

Rob
