My "track board" has holes that goes up to 8 (games), but it didn't come
to two pegs for that purpose.



I believe what you say about track boards but I couldn't find any on the web.


It just occurred to me, a game of Euchre is scored up to 10 points (but
the way I heard it, you're supposed to usethe four 5 cards to display
the score). I think that's to distract you while you've being cheated!
; ) Ithink I have never seen what I thought was an "honest" gameof
Euchre. It may have been played, but I can't sayas my background is too
limited.



This could be the answer, the only game score boards with 24 holes that I've
found on the web are these Euchre boards:

They aren't the exact same configuration but this is the closest I've seen so
far. Anyone know why they would have four pegs if they are only tracking two
scores? Maybe just two extra pegs.

Thanks,
Rob

The euchre boards have smaller holes, and they didn't go to the trouble
of laminating the wood.

Here's a caddy for 1/4" bits.

The owner bought it because it provides a tight fit. It also looks more
stable than most bit caddies.

I hate knocking over a caddy and having the bits fall out. If a 1/4"
bit fits snugly in the holes of the mystery item, I wonder if that could
be the purpose. The owner of a craft shop found a source of metal
fittings that would fit a 1/4" bit snugly, and he made stable laminated
caddies for farmers who hated having bits fall out of caddies! Well...
maybe...
