Drip cap on chimney is formed by nailing  two layers of one by fours on the chimney and filling in. Later, the forms are removed and the finish is applied. 

These caps make sure the chimneys last. Don't believe me? Go to an old neighborhood and look at the stucco chimneys. The chimneys without drip edges usually have been patched or are in bad shape.
