Here's what I'd do:

There should be a Sunbelt Rental near you. According to their website, they offer a MillerMatic 135 mig welder for rental. MIGs are the best option for beginners, just read up on welding safety before you touch it... it only takes an hour or two of practice to get the technique down using miscellaneous scrap metal. A little googling will provide you with endless resources. Youtube lists some great tutorials under "mig welding" also.

That said, here's my disclaimer: I too, am a beginner, still in the youtube phase of my research so my advice may result in blindness, premature birth, low birth weight, scorched eyebrows, death and/or dismemberment... etc.

Anyway, that's what I'd do.
