Charlie,

Psst ... keep this a secret between you & me, okay?

This is a solved problem. Machinists face the same situation every day.

Get over to J & L Industrial, Production Tool or, possibly even ENCO or
Harbor Freight and grab their flexible air nozzles that snap together,
some sort of mag base and a valve with a handle you can set & forget.

This link will get you started. It's a right angle nozzle. The left side
snaps onto a link that adds up like pop-beads back to the aforementioned
valves and so on.
