If you want to build it to a specific value, I recomend getting a copy of The Radio Amateurs Handbook from your local library. It has info and formula for air core, ferrite core, and toroid core inductors. You might try their website www.arrl.com

Depends on the type of inductor you want. If you want one that you can show is working, take a nail, one that you can pick up with a magnet. To to the hardware store and buy a roll of doorbell wire. Unwrap a single conductor, and wrap a couple hundred turns around the nail. Connect this to a battery and you'll find that you've created an electormagnet, able to turn the needle on a compass, or to pick up small metal objects.

Just take a wire and coil it up. I've used old transformers for inductors before. They work as long as you don't short the secondary wires.
