Sounds like a plan. Doesn't setting concrete generate a lot of heat? Seems it could head to the bottom before it's ready.
I saw the ultimate "form" at a yard sale. It was a brand-new stainless steel kitchen sink -- for five dollars.
It would have made too small a mooring form for
my boat, but a larger, deeper, sink could be inverted once the concrete is set, and there would only be smooth stainless steel surfaces for the chain to abrade against. (No corners and no abrasives).
The bottom surface would be flat, or could be made slightly concave.
