			=== Wood/Cement ===
			I'm really interested in this combination. I think it can provide a great balance of strength, rigidity and price. With an outer coating to harden the surface, it might match steel.

			=== Threaded ===
			There will be a preference for bolts over screws, though it's hard to beat a screw for connecting two pieces of wood. Threaded rod allows for customization.

=== Foam ===
Particularly in the form of insulation, this is pretty cheap and can be used to form molds. Makercise has had good results coating this in plaster then placing the whole thing in sand to do casts.

=== Epoxy ===
Can be very strong, kind of expensive in quantity but can provide a good surface or connection.
