хочется передать на англ. так же колоритно, как в оригинале.
контекст: герои возвращаются домой лесной дорогой, а там их поджидает банда с кольями в руках. тогда один из героев говорит: "А ну, подходи по одному! Подниму и начну крутить – мало не покажется!"
заранее мерси за всяческие идеи :)

till you're blue in the face
pick you up and twirl you around till you're blue in the face... although being twirled by the feet is more likely to make them red in the face... so maybe "till yo head explodes"?
Have fun :)

Actually, upon re-reading the original, it's
"when I start swinging YOU, you'll get plenty"

Thank you. Of course. Initially, I scanned the original briefly and thought the guy was about to swing one of the "колья"

One swing o'this and you'll be as good as dead!
Возможно, прозвучит более угрожающе, чем оригинал

C'mon now, one at a time! Once you get a feel of my grab-and-swing-you-around, you'll wish you hadn't!
