Confused how to sweep a complex curving path while staying perpendicular.

Please ignore... I erroneously posted this twice this weekend when it didn't seem to appear in the forum after a short time. Refer to:
How do I sweep a complex curving path while staying perpendicular to surface?
I have managed to project a spiral path onto the inside of a bowl surface. So far so good. Now I'd like to sweep (I think) a line along that path and have it stay perpendicular to the bowl. The result should create a twisting spiral vane inside the bowl surface. Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this? Appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
