Draw yourself a half-pattern on 1/4" birch plywood. Take your measurements
with a ruler and calipers. Record the width and diameter of each of the
elements (cove, bead, taper, shoulder, etc.) Use this half-pattern to turn
your legs. It's not as intimidating as it might first sound. The first leg
is the hardest.

I think you will find this approach works much better than the profile
gauge. It's meant for duplicating short pieces of molding and the like.

I have a project where I need to copy some turned legs from a table and
since the table cannot be brought to the workshop, I need to make a
pattern and after looking in several catalogs, I cannot find that little
tool (?) with all the needles to match a turned pattern. I cannot even
come up with the name of the tool. Any suggestion to steer my in the
right direction.
TIA
