Stone steps

I need to set some steps into a hillside at a job I'm doing and would like to use stone. I've never built stone steps before so can anyone give me an idea of whats involved here?

Do you have an idea of what kind of steps you'd like to build?

Here's a good thread to get you started: Walkway steps

I want to go with natural stone, about 3-4' wide with no sides. I have the equipment to set them with, I just don't know how long something like this would take.

Depending on site access, they can go pretty quickly. A single large stone is harder to set than a single small stone, but a staircase of large stones goes much quicker than a staircase of small stones. Hard to say more than that w/o more info.
