Troy, It does depend on what method you will be following. If you do go with DvE's CDROM, he includes a whole section on the minimum kit you need for his method. He also give a lot of advice and hints on using various tools in various tasks. Getting and keeping your tools sharp is probably one of the key success factors, and he provides another section on this (including sharpening scrapers - although I have yet to master this!).
Regarding a workbench, I think you need as much work area as you can get (but then I'm a messy worker!). In any case, you'll find yourself colonizing the kitchen table and other domestic spaces for various tasks...
