NY Dave Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well, I'm still working on the laminated coaming but the frame is lashed and oiled. Time to place an order for footrests, fabric, backband, etc..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY Dave Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks. Yep, I've been a woodworker for several years but this is my first "watercraft". I'm sure it won't be the last though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The satisfaction of floating around in a boat you made is unique. It is indeed an addictive feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich D Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 At the risk of losing any respect or credibility I may have attained in my few posts - this seems like a good place to ask - What the heck does FROG stand for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhip Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Foolish Repulsive Old Gentleman? At least, that's how I've been described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I do believe it is Frame Resting On Grass (or Ground, maybe). This is conjecture on my part, as I am acronym challenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 In the early days of this section of the forum it became apparent that most builders documenting their boat here always took a frame ready to skin picture. For most of us the best place to get a good shot, with good lighting and free of junk in the view was out on the lawn. So "Frame Resting On Grass". It was not only noted, but suggested and unanimously voted upon that all documented boats in this forum are required by law to contain a FROG photo at that point in progress.

Rich D Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks, I'm glad I asked. Now I won't inadvertently make a breach of etiquette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
