Metal Strip
Metal strips can be made from just about anything from aluminum flashing to and old tin can. The tools I've used to make the cut range from tin snips to a sturdy scissors.
Pop rivet attachment
Wire is great because it has so much flexibility (pun intended? you be the judge). No really, I can shape it any way I want and can attach various ways.
Copper wire soldered
Steel wire glued
Steel wire friction fit
Stainless steel wire wrapped around wood
(hidden by thread wrap)
Steel wire - Free form
(the wire holds it's form while floating in slide)
Copper electrical wire - In the body of the slide
As a part of the slide
The first of these have extra length "ears" that form the slide.
Aluminum metalworking
Iron - Blacksmith style
