A device for forming concrete includes a first form dimensioned to surround substantially one-half of a predetermined object , such as a vertical column , from a preselected distance; a second form dimensioned to surround substantially one-half of the column from substantially the same preselected distance; joining members for detachably joining end portions of the first and second forms and ; and securing members for removably securing the first and second forms and to the column after joining together the end portions of the first and second forms and about the column . The joined first and second forms and remain substantially stationary as concrete is poured into the device ; whereupon, the concrete ultimately hardens and the device is quickly removed and re-positioned about another vertical column
