I weld the two tubes together somewhere between the headset cups where the stress is lower and I use an internal plug turned on a lathe to match the internal diameter of the two tubes meeting each other. It is likely stronger than a cast fork crown silver soldered in my opinion.
But anything done badly is obviously a bodge.
