Technically, the legs on the table in question were not actually turned. They were done with a router and a Craftsman router crafter.
I don't see a nice way around this in terms of making rules, with proper jigs, round legs can be done on a router table and I don't feel that these should be judged in a 'turned' category.
Limiting tools is gonna be a tough scenario too, I personally don't see how to set guidelines. In addition to that, I really feel it's the craftsman that designs and builds the project, the tools are simply an aid. Anything can be done in several different ways, a specialized tool only makes it easier to accomplish.
