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'.


Thanks Dave. It doesn't need to be too strong (it's overdesigned as it is),
and I'm not too concerned for appearance. Form follows function, and all of
that.

Pete, Ned, and Iggy, thanks guys, you all seem to be in agreement. I'm
planning on using 1/8" 7018AC for all of the welds, but to fill in the gap,
maybe I should use a 3/32" electrode? Any preference for type?

My choice would be 7014, easy to use, and good at filling gaps.
Thank You,
Randy
