Jim, the gable is the long vertical side of your cabinet. If you have a 1/2"x3/4" strip on the inside back edge and on the top inside edge of the gable you can screw the gable into the wall and into the ceiling. If you consider an upper kitchen cabinet is held up by a few screws and that cabinet is heavier then your little corner cabinet loaded. I do have a little experience in carpentry/ furniture/ cabinet building, only over 55 years.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Got it.  Thanks.  In fact the solution you suggest is exactly the one that I was about to try.  However, your confirmation of that approach assures me that it is worth the try.  I originally was planning to use 1/4 oak veneer plywood o the long vertical side of the cabinet, now I will switch to 1/2 inch.  I'll post some pictures as soon as I master the curve on the front piece.  Right now, I am - as they say - behind the curve.

I am planning to use 1 1/2 grabber sheet-rock-like screws to anchor the back cleat, on the assumption that I have about 1 to 1 1/2 inch of pod skin to anchor them in.

Again, thank you so much.  Yes, 55 years of cabinet building does make a difference.
