Has anyone used this parabolic reflector template to boost their wireless signal?

Just wondering if anyone had used this wireless parabolic reflector template to boost their wireless signal. It seems like it would work, but Im just looking for some feed back:

Ok -- maybe you're right about this -- however I think everyone here in the forums the responds regularly probably has some geek in them.

A friend of mine did make a "cantenna" once and it actually worked very well.

CoachDANNY works with them sometimes, and shows how to make them too, if I remember right.

it's practically free, why not try it? i've used various home-made antennas including my own built cantenna and have had good success with all of them. ymmv.

an increase is an increase right? how would you know how to use the number he gives you anyway? 2db, 6db or more - do you know how much this increases your range?
