Im probably over analyzing here but I'd recommend cutting a slot for the wedge through the top flange and removing the web down to the bottom flange. Then get a longer piece for the wedge that will extend down through the I beam. With your current design the welds will be connecting the load mostly to the flange out beyond the web. With enough load and good welds the flange could tear along the web.
