update on the install....

$300 worth of hydraulic hoses:


The "pass through" I built to run the hoses through the shop wall. 2x pcs of 4" pipe, welded to the cover plate on the outside, and then slipped over the interior.


I placed pipe insulation over the hoses to hopefully keep them of rubbing/wearing against the steel pipe.... and will use "expanding foam" to fill the airspace.


From the exterior:


Then ran the hoses behind my steel rack, and to the power unit:





The rolling mill with the foot control I built/installed, and the press with the pneumatic foot pedal (still waiting on a new air regulator to arrive, so I can hook up the air and see if I can get it adjusted to work properly), if the air foot pedal doesn't work out like I want, I suspect I'll relocate the hydraulic valve to the bottom of the press, and build/install a mechanical foot control.
