I decided to have a play & try out the welder I bought from @Morrisman & made a wine rack. Horseshoes came from @hotponyshoes Thanks both of you.

I'd pondered just heating one of the above setting tools and using a pair of pliers to hold the setting tool and push the insert into place, but I decided that it wouldn't take long to make a two-part dog-leg setting tool:
