The underslide is glued into the frog, and the frog is placed on the stick to ensure a tight fit once the glue dries. The underslide will protect both wooden parts from the constant wear that would otherwise occur when the frog slides back and forth (tensioning the horse hair). The pieces are "all wrapped up" with high tensile-strength, waxed flattening string (um..., a.k.a. dental floss)!

That frog ain't going no where. He looks like he's been mugged and gagged. I'm happy to hear the operation worked, and maybe you got a little something from his wallet. That leather looks pretty cool too.
