you could, but the quality of the materials would not be on par with those from the listed website. They will work, but not as well.

for the 78 cents you pay for a wooden dowel at walmart, it will save you a lot more time the ripping strips of mdf.

I found it much easier and quicker to measure the length you need and chop it off the dowel instead of having to go and cut mdf.

the cloth isn't that important as it isnt structural. it just gives the shape for the fiberglass to bond to. you could pretty much use any extra cloth you have lyring around.
