Even if you know which issue you probably would still have trouble finding a copy at a sensible price.  But making an electromagnet is really trivial and there are load of how-to descriptions on the web such as this one:

If what you are asking is how to wind the bobbin using a drill press, then unless your drill press has a speed control my advice is, don’t try!  Unless you have a proper coil winder that manages the wire you need to take it very slowly to get a neat result.  Also having a vertical axis won’t make life any easier.

Also just to make sure of what you are asking, Googling “make electromagnet on drill press” gives loads of pages on making electromagnetic vices – I assume that isn’t what you meant?
