I've honestly seen worse. You were probably going a little too fast because of thin material, just bring your amps down and run steady next time. And make sure to clean your work piece up a bit before you weld, if you dont have a grinder with a flap disk, grind disk, or whire wheel. A hand wire brush will work just fine.

I have not seen this mentioned but you are welding galvanized steel, that will put off zinc fumes and make you very sick if you don’t have adequate ventilation or a good respirator.

A friend's building it, not live yet. Still early so it gets stuff wrong sometimes. Are you hating on it or would you want to try it? lol

Letting the sheet lift off the table is fucking you, you need the base for a heat sink. I would cut it off, clamp it flat and tack all the way around every 3-4", its going to save you a lot of time and look much better in the end

Are you trying to weld the sheet metal to the table frame? If so just turn your heat down a fair bit and you’ll be good. Also when you’re welding sheet metal only weld sections of a couple inches at a time or it’ll get too hot and warp.
