actually,  I think that is what I saw that guy in that video I posted doing. In freecad, he took a plane and intersected it with his work piece, and then created a path (he called it a wire.).  I posted that video here  a few iterations back in this thread.

That seemed kind of neat, how he did that,  but I was not able to reproduce that.

Not really, you just need to draw the outline. For most lathe-turned
parts that is just a set of diameters and shoulders.
