Cheaper to buy
Assorted motors can be bought in bulk as scrap items from garbage disposal facilities. In my limited experience most of them work ok. I forget exactly but basically you're looking at around scrap value. One batch of motors should keep a community going a long time.

Magnet From Raw Materials
The hardest part of making an electric motor/generator from raw materials will be making a good permanent magnet. I've found a brief online overview of the history of magnet production and some modern manufacturing techniques. It includes references to textbooks that presumably have more details.
