You are both missing his idea. I went to lee valley tool to see the channel he is thinking of using. What the picture does not show very well is his UHMW stock that is attached to both sides of the wood. It then runs in the channel on both sides of the wood. The wood will not be in contact with the channel. It should also help to keep the wood slide from twisting as well.
Not bad for a cheap design slide.
