Not sure if this is the right place for this so if it is not please let me know where I should post...I did not see a forum called stupid questions.
So my son made several lantern posts by pouring concrete in a bucket with a 4x4 post in them. This worked very well, but now we need to transport them without a pickup truck.
My question is how can I remove the 4x4 post from the concrete without totally destroying either the post or the concrete because he would like to use them again.
I am thinking there may be a long blade for an oscillating tool that would allow me to remove a bit of the concrete just outside of the post. If I could do this on 2 sides, then hopefully a whack or two with a 3# sledge would know it loose.
Any thoughts?
Also, for future reference, how could this be done from the start to make the posts removable?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom and insight,
Jim
