Default First Time Welding??

Hi all, GF has a metal framed bed and one of the supporting legs has come
away. (Mainly because she didnt do it up tight enough as usual - but thats
another story). The metal tube ripped.

Dont know what kind of metal it is (probably steel).. So assuming I havent
a clue about welding and have never picked up anything bigger than a
soldering iron, is it a good idea to rush down to homebase and pick up a
mid priced welding kit of some kind. Or is this a recipe for disaster?

Alternatively I could look at using some liquid metal but I think it will
be to brittle for this application and crack.
