Homemade mineral feeder - for Tango (and anyone else)

Here are some pictures of the mineral feeders my husband made. The materials are a 3" double y fitting, a length of 3" pipe, a length of 2" pipe, some sort of altered drain piece for the bottom, a piece of t-post, the bottom of a plastic 55 gallon drum for the rain guard, a band clamp to keep the rain guard in place, and a coffee container to cover the top of the PVC pipe.
