This is the link to the manual for the Great Planes PT-60 kit.

GP made the assumption that the person building the kit has zero experience and needs to start from the absolute beginning.
Page 4 has detailed suggestions for a workbench. It is pretty similar to some of the things already suggested.

I still keep my PT-60 manual handy. It has tips for many building steps, tool recommendations, etc. I've only built 2 kits so far and the reference material is priceless.
