These are great drops! Lots of things to do with them, but until you have tried to do a large full pen weld, you would not treat welding them together very lightly. It is hot, dirty and hard work. The upsetting block idea is nice as is the swage block idea. You could also make an Easy-Smith like device by grinding interesting shapes on both and setting them in a line. Also, a tool steel top can be welded onto the edge of one of them. Half the tedious scarfing for a full pen weld is done already. Have you tried scarfing with an air carbon arc? Hot, dirty and hard work.
