Damn talk about a ranger
Here it is in action:
It’s made so that everything fits together without glueing. Only two pairs of bolts and nuts are required.

Thought about doing this, but worried that the key could just “rest” in the socket accidentally and close the circuit (only just). Valid concern?

Sure, it’s a valid concern. I have considered it.
It won’t happen while the board is resting.
It may happen when you’re moving the board. If you’re moving it by hand, that’s not really a concern since you’re holding it and you’re in control.
If you’re moving it in your boot, for example, that’s a little concern. Still, even if it gets accidentally turned on, no major disaster will happen as long as your remote is off.
I personally almost never carry my board in my car. If I were to do it, I would probably print a simple part that locks the switch in the open position, which is simple and solves the problem.

Seems like a little spring-loaded mechanical unlock button could do wonders for that

Ooh! I like that battery enclosure! Simple but elegant. Like the timeless monolith. Sleek. Nobbly bits. 
“Base and sides are a one piece black cast aluminium”
Sounds quality. I wonder how much it weighs.
…but so sad that, at 250 x 250, it’s not going to be the salvation that @BenjaminF needs for his 12s11p 21700. 
Is this self-proclaimed Nomad on the forum?
Lol. Not mine.
