French Cleat Holder for Dedusting Remote Controls

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I wanted to make a holder for both a new SuperMax (Laguna) air filtration unit, as well as a holder for the controller to the pre-existing cyclone dedusting system that takes care of my tools.The Supermax's remote control needs to have a line of sight (IR) to control the unit, whereas the cyclone dedusting is radio controlled and therefore can be left inside the French Cleat holder when turning the unit on/off. I just made a hole in the front and rounded it over with a router so I can depress the button and see the red led light.At first I was going to have the two remotes arranged side by side, but then I decided to stack the two units on top of each other to decrease the space used on the French Cleat. I finished the remote holder with a coat of Danish Oil.I wanted to get this project done quickly before I lost thetwo remotes forever in a pile of debris. The pics show the end result and I hope this post is a usefulidea for someone looking to do something similar for their remotes.I can't give a review on the SuperMax as I haven't used it too much, but so far I think it's working well, it's pretty quiet and can move the air in the shop at 3 different speeds.
