I really like scaffolding and have posted several ideas about it here. This is another one: Dino-scaff is a new and exciting type of scaffolding material. It's stronger; it's lighter; it's safer; it looks good and it's 100% organic.
Here's what it's all about:
The first thing you need to know
about Dino-scaff is that it's made using a rapid mould process. In this case the raw material is bone meal, a by-product of the meat industry. Fused together with an organic glue, the mass produced identical Dino-scaff units emerge in the form of long white bones that quickly can be joined together at the ends.
As a supporting structure, bones are stronger than their steel equivalents, so they won't present any difficulty in holding in place all of the components needed to erect a building. Dino-scaff never rusts; never needs to be painted; is light for carrying; simply shatters if it falls from a great height, instead of smashing whatever's beneath it; and it can be recycled easily.
Being white in colour, buildings under construction using Dino-scaff will take on a much more organic appearance, and look amazing, like they have an animal bone exoskeleton. (they probably used it in the Flintstones but not checked)
When construction is complete, Dino-scaff can be stacked and stored for future use in dog-proof containers.

And this is still true of reconstituted bone meal, in much the
same way that particle board is just as strong as seasoned
oak - right? |

This will please politicians - they can cash in on all the skeletons in their closets ... |
|
|
//And this is still true of reconstituted bone meal// Of course - with the correct binding material and internal geometry, Dino-scaff will be just as strong as "real" bones. |

... and the market for epoxy and polyester resins will boom. |

Really ? Those "Guaranteed 100% Organic Certified" stickers are pretty cheap if you buy them by the roll of 1000. Sturton will even stick them on for you at a very reasonable charge. |

Ah, so you DO understand irony ... |
