Looks like a fixed depth gauge to me. We always made small wood jigs for repetitive work in the shop that could be tossed when finished, and invariably ended up in the tool drawer instead, taking up space.
Same idea M80. It’s called a Base Hook for installing base moulding, my Dad made it when he went to New York Trade School.M80 wrote:
