This tutorial covers an interesting approach to creating 'cage' like objects.
The described technique works by selecting and hiding faces in an object and then extruding. It doesn't require any of the recently added features but just works with basic mesh modeling. The results are quite striking.
You'll find it on Cyphertxt.com
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
