I have been engineering a "system" on how to do this efficiently. I needed to build a form system that was able to be reused many many times without screw holes stripping out, without boards breaking or needing to be pried loose with a claw hammer. I needed the forms to be able to be taken off piece by piece very easily and I had to make the form stand on its own without falling over. I also needed the form to have an option to have a mailbox rock shelf.
On top of that, the inside of the form needs to have some sort of rock texture.
So here is what I came up with after a week or so of drawing. These pictures are of work in progress and I will be updating this thread as I go along. Nov 2nd is when I should be able to pour the post.

The starting of the form design. Internal dimensions are 8"x8"x72" The "gap" is where a 3.5" thick rock shelf will be. I have to pick up more hardware to finished putting that part together.
