Arc/stick welders are notoriously hard to learn, and each metal alloy has a stick to correspond to it, wrong stick, weld fails. If you do choose to get an arc welder, once you get proficient with it, you can do damn near anything. For the most part though, the materials we are welding are too thin to easily weld with an arc welder.

My $.02, save and wait for a decent flux/mig set up. You won't regret it.
