  Vexing Vector Problem

There is probably somehting simple that I am missing (besides a brain)
but I am at a loss. I am trying to be able to define a line between two
vectors, as with a cylinder or cone definition (lets say <1,2,3> to
<3,4,5>). Now, I want to use that line as an axis, as if it were, say Y,
(<0,-2,0>,<0,2,0> for example), and offset a parallel line from this set
of vectors. (As in <2,-2,0>,<2,2,0>) and create a while loop that
generates a ring of lines around the original axis. The application I
have in mind will not allow creating the figure at the Origin and
rotating into place. Any help would be appreciated.
