That reminds me of a thing my dad used to use to hold doors on edge while he planed (plained?) them to fit. It was shaped different on the bottom though.

Easy! It´s an "adjustable inch"!  

When you sell lumber you make the space 22,7mm. with the nuts and when you buy you make the inch up to 28,44 mm. for checking thickess.
