Default Square tubing T-joint

Howdy, I am needing to join (weld) a vertical member of square tubing to a
horizontal member that sits on the floor (all tubing being 2.5" x 3/16").

The problem, as you have likely come across, is that the corner of the
square tubing has a radius, leaving a gap on either end of the piece to be
joined.

How would you tackle this problem?

I can think of using a sharpie and an angle grinder to get it pretty close.
Is this about the best method?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Jon


How strong does it need to be, how clean does it need to look?

I can think of 3 ways at least to join the two without leaving a
'gap'.
