Going to try and make my own snoots..

Greetings.
As one of the posters suggested here, I've gotten myself a strobist DVD set.
He had brought up a point about snoots and their cost, and how they can be made at home. Sounds pretty logical to me.
Questions are:
1) What are the standard (most often used) lengths for snoots?
2) Another snoot he was showing is a snoot that directs light via grid built inside the snoot.
He had suggested to use a coroplast if making one at home. Well, I am looking into that, and was wondering, would the drinking straws yield the same effect?
thanks in advance.
