Here we have the upper piece of the slide in place as well on both sides, for the test fit.
Here is a closeup of the joint I am using. I cut a groove in the side that get attached to the drawer bottom. (blue arrow).
That will be glued and screwed together - red line for screw. That will stiffen the plywood lengthwise, nicely.

Finally got some more machining done on my drawer/slide for the oven.
Here's a pic of starting the test fit of the pieces.

After they are cleaned, there is a coating that can be sprayed on that is supposed to help keep the plastic clear for about a year.
I have not sprayed this on yet. I may give the lights another cleaning ... "just to make sure".
It did not take long to clean them up - probably about 5 minutes each. Overall, I am pleased with results. - Also purchased on Amazon.

Here's what I used. I found out about this from a guy on YouTube. I figured I'd give it a try, and it worked! Bought it off of Amazon.
A while back someone noticed my headlights on the PT Cruiser were a "little" faded from the sunlight.
Well...... since I have now gotten my "round tuit" (around to it), they are much cleaner now than they were!
Here I cleaned up the passenger side light, while the drivers side has not yet been touched.
Not sure how well this will show up.

Depending on how the "V's" are cut, will make a difference on how much contact area there is between the mating surfaces. That will either increase or decrease the surface area.
Like I said earlier - if the mating surfaces are coated "only" with wax, so the was soaks into the wood, it works well.

I offset the groove on the 2 pieces that will screw to the wall, to allow some space between the sliding portion and the wall.
Here you can see about 1/4" between the sliding portion in the center, and the wall.
The drawer bottom will be fastened to the sliding portion.
If you haven't used a wooden slide with furniture wax, it's actually pretty slick. (pun intended)

I started off by creating my sliding joint, (no, not drugs), this is wooden. I'll be using the same type joint that I used on the rear window cover.
Good morning. The maniac is back! Lol.
Here's the next part of this project. Below the top shelf "area" in the rear, I am going to install a sliding shelf.
This will be to house the Breville oven. Say, what?
Well, I figure, if I put it in the back, mounted on a slide, it will be out of the way when not in use. When we want to use it, we'll just slide the shelf out, and we can close the door between the kitchen and rear "area", and keep all of the heat back there, as well as either open the window, or turn on the vent fan that I will eventually install in that area.
If on the other hand we want the heat ... we can just leave everything closed up and the heat will filter front.
Crazy? Maybe, but, at the moment, it looks like it should work. You know, kinda like "Hey, watch this"!
