Sheena, I would suggest you buy a simple saw frame, like the one in my picture. It will last for ever. The only other suggestion is that you get one with a 4" throat, so that you can navigate larger sheets of metal.
Much more important will be to get good quality saw blades such as Vallorbe, because any frame can only work as well as the little toothy thing you insert. For a start you can probably make do with only size 4/0.
Lastly you will need a screw-on bench peg. At the risk of bringing down the wrath of some members, I heartily endorse this one from Cousins, which has holes and slots, for fine fiddly work. I even take mine when I work away from home, to the envy of colleagues. BTW, ideally bench pegs for piercing are flat, not sloping.
