the stator was made from hardboard (i think that is the proper name for it) not particleboard or wood...which is  just a hair under 1/2" thick, about 1/16" thicker than the coils.

i routered out cutouts for the coils that were about 1/8" larger than the coils to allow room for resin around them, then I used my lil dumor grinder to cut  4 groves from the cutout outward about 1/8" and countersunk each one so that theese "legs" would give the coil more support when moulded into the stator body.
The  2 molds halves are simply made from two scrap sheets of aluminum that are bigger than the stator with 6 thru bolts beyond the o.d. of the stator...the aluminum sheets are fastened to 1/2" ( what i had layin' around ) chunks of plywood so you can squeeze  everything together after you pour in the resin.
i also had 4 plastic wire ties on each coil that fit into those groves in the stator body to hold it in place.
one coil was a lil off center thickness wise because i wasn't careful eneough when tightening up the bolts...otherwise the process seemed to work well eneough (especially for a VAWT that is not subject, i think, to as much torque as a hawt.
