What kind of inexpensive (relatively) welding device do I need?

I have steel burglar-bar doors onto which I want to tack some steel mesh and
turn the grate into a screen door (sorta - it's really to keep the cats in
instead of the bugs out).

In addition, who knows what future small welding jobs might come my way.

So, what's the best methodology, equipment, etc.?

Thanks.


I bought a HF el cheapo flux core welder off of Craig's List for $50.
It even included a helmet. It works great. If I ever want to upgrade I
can sell it for what I've got into it.
