A tool with many names [Filler] by rhoing

A tool with many names [Filler]

“Contour gauge.” “Profile tool.” “Shape duplicator.” “Shape finder.”

Lots of long, thin pins that slide inside the frame. I pressed it against the bull nose edge of a countertop. The pins don’t move very easily, as it’s very old and all-metal, so there is likely dust and maybe some rust inside. Newer versions are made of plastic.

I offered this one to Clare’s youngest brother: “This was Dad’s. Do you want it? (FWIW, I don’t think I’ve ever used it.”

Rich’s reply: “I’ve got one and I’ve never used it either…”

A modern replacement can be had for ~$20 and this is a home, not a museum…

I'm surprised that you've never used it. Nice shot and very interesting tool.
