How To Make Gate Posts The Easy Way (Well, perhaps slightly easier way, at least!)

There's a lot of work in making a gate-post, because there's a lot of material in them. Traditionally they would have been made from stone, but unless those stones were huge, they would need to be concreted together. Otherwise the weight of the gate would quickly pull them apart. Here is a way that ends up looking the same but, in theory at least, is quicker and easier to do. If the concrete lorry had been able to unload directly into the pipes, that would have saved a lot more work, too.
