Oh! Home made?
Try this.
Take two 4x4 and cut them to about 8" (Measure and check). Cut a 45 degree angle on each end. ( Easier to cut the 45 first, then measure and cut the length.

Drill a hole through the center of each piece, length wise. Place a proper length of 1/2 inch all-thread through the hole. Give yourslef enough length of all-thread the be able to slide the 4x4 up to fit between the tires. The 45 degree cuts fade each other to the inside of the all-thread. Double nut one side of the all-thread (But you really don't have to). Place a nut on the other end of the all-thread.

Slide the two pieces apart, place between tires, tighten nut.

Instant (almost) chock!

By the way, I have two of the Yellow wheel chocks that fit between the tires laying in the garage also. It will cost you a lunch at the local La Taqueria for two. Lunch is cheap. Plus, you pick them up, or be within 30 miles of here, then lunch is your choice of location (Not McDonald's or like!!!!)
