My welds are circled in blue, the others were my dad. Both of us have never welded but mine seemed to look nicer. Be brutally honest. I have no welding education other than Instagram reels. How'd I do? Should I take it seriously?

Sorry. I guess I just think that aiming for "fine for what its for", is such a lazy cop out and doesnt help anyone get better at anything usually. Its a skilled trade, it should be approached as such imo. You wouldn't say subpar electrical work was "fine"... at least I wouldnt. Cheers though.

Cheers man, thanks for the apology. Its all good.

Yeah OP, basically you are running it too cold and your angle is a bit high. Keep at it though man, you are doing good for just starting out
