What do you call this tool ?

It is a single row of pins held tightly by a bar but still allowed to move, like a single row pin-box.



One uses it to take a pattern of molding by pushing the pins against the molding, allowing them to adjust to its profile, to get a pattern.



I don't know what to ask for, let alone where to get it.



Thanks

Well nobody's come up with the "Contour Copy Gauge" yet, so I'll jump in quick with that. Don't have a URL for that one though.

How abaout a Profile Contour Copy Gauge ;-)
