It just feels like anything more than the simplest welder will be overkill for what I am able to do. Anything requiring thicker gauge metal or cleaner welds will be done by a fabricator. I don't want to spend more money than I need to on a tool I'll use so infrequently.

Yes, you can stick metal together in a number of ways but the very low end equipment can make it harder and uglier.
