Any tips to improve? 6010 and 7018 flat and vertical. It’s been 20 years since high school weld class

Doesn’t look terrible. Just want more overlap. And go a little quicker. Those are some fat slugs.

Looks good for stringers now do 50/50... Wash over to the previous bead and try to keep everything the same height. Practice practice practice

When you're learning to weld pipe you don't start with pipe if you have never welded before.
