Rewinding alternators etc requires craftsman's art as well as electrical knowledge, there is lots of info on the net, but as others have said try to find work in the industry.

After that invest in many kilos of copper wire, insulating varnish , temperature controlled oven and winding machine and lots of patience. Good luck
