2. If I made a staircase, how difficult is it to make?


Its easy if you pick an easy design, hard if you pick a hard design.
What tools you need also depends on the design, for some you just need
a saw and hammer,

Probably the simplest design would be a pair of 2x6s to support the
whole thing, 1.5x7 or something similar for the treads, and triangles
of 2x6 to enable toe treads to sit on the angled 2x6s. Redundancy with
fixings is essential for safety. You can add any thin wood to make it
closed instead of open.
