I can stick/arc weld but obviously MIG adds about 3 more layers of complexity to stick welding. Had a look at some of the stuff on YouTube but it's all so dry and boring! Apparently you can do something called spray welding though, where you turn everything right up it's messy (hence the name) but quick and effective. This sounds interesting and suits my needs as nothing I do will need to be pretty.

I thought spray welding was where powdered metal is gravity fed into the flame of a gas torch and which then deposits/sprays said metal onto the surface the torch is pointed at. Used for building up material where it has worn away. Bearing registers and the like.
Edit: I've just now learnt about spray arc welding now too, as you were

I had my first go of MIG welding tonight. It's easy to produce something acceptable compared to TIG but I think the settings might take some time to master. There should be some good guides on YouTube. Good luck!
