I've seen a pencil mounted on a slot in a block. Forgot what they call
it. Hold the pipe at the angle you want it to be against the mating pipe.
Follow the block around the pipe and the pencil marks out the profile to
make a flush fit. Takes some practice, of course, and you pick the cutting
method that works for you.
Templates work good, but take a bit more effort to do, unless you are
mathematically inclined and/or plan on doing a lot of that pattern.
