Concrete tube forms (Is "sonotube" a generic or brand name?)

Where could a person buy these things?
Lowe's? Home Depot?

that works... google sonotube to find other places.
probably any concrete/construction company.

looks like they make even numbers from 6-36"
You could get a 24" one, and a 6 inch one,
use chicken wire/rebar to tie the top, base, and column together...
and pour a monolith.

2" top@24" = .1164yard^3 * 2"/12" = 0.0194 yard^3
4" base@24" =.1164yard^3 * 4"/12" = 0.0388 yard^3
34" column@6" = .0073yard^3 * 34"/12" = 0.0207 yard^3
total: 0.0789 yard^3 * .7646yard^3/m^3 = 0.0603m^3

concrete has a avg density of ~2400KG/m^3

..0603m^3 * 2400kg/m^3 = 144.72kg = ~319 lbs.

That's a heavy table!
(assuming i didn't mess up the calculations)
Perhaps something lighter for the top and column.
