The design of this antenna is actually from http://www.amateurradio.bz/4_dollar_satellite_antenna.html   All credit to the author KG0ZZ. The following is only a description of how I built it with photos.
This is a 4 element VHF / 7 element UHF yagi tuned for 145.800 / 436.800.  As the note at the top and bottom of this page says, it is based on the "$4 satellite antenna" by KG0ZZ.  I made a few minor changes to its construction, but all the measurements are his. 

Parts Required:
(1) 8' 1x2 board. (Will be cut down to ~60")
(4) Metal coat hangers (For 2m elements)
(1) Roll of 16 gauge or larger fence wire. (70cm elements)
    -You could also use coat hangers for this
(~35) #10 x1/2"  5/6" hex head.  (use three per element)
(2ea) #6x32 1.25" Pan head screws, nuts.
(4) #6 washers.
(2) Small wire connectors (for coax)
(1) 6+ foot coax with your choice of connector. (I used BNC)
