>What's the bare minimum I need to get started?
Fat, lye, a mixing bowl, a wooden spoon, saponification charts, and a kitchen scale. That's bare minimum.
Recommended is a stove top or hot plate, an emulsifier (stick blender), thermometer, mold (an empty pringles can works great for small batches - use a funnel if you use this), glass pyrex measuring cup, dedicated cooking pot, a silicon spatula.

Optional are your recipes, dyes, fragrances and any other fancy shit.

Sorry if the image quality sucks. I had to screenshot the pic to shrink the filesize.
