If it's steel you can use either a mig welder or a torch and stick as in the post. I would go with the mig welder much easier to use if you don't have alot of experience stick welding. You can rent a mig welder from most rental places for cheap and just buy the wire that is coated so you don't have to use any gas.
Good luck and keep us posted.................
