This is a nice idea. One thought, though, is it really necessary to
have two holes? I would think that one hole is enough if one use a T
junction like this:
air tank
___

compressor---+---application
Or will this setup halt the air flow? (Halting the air flow may be a
good idea, BTW, as I find that when using an air tank, I have almost no
fine control of the cylinders.) What do you think?
