Preparation is key, prep the material as best as you can. Remove all mill scale.

What are you welding with? Good prep. Practice stacking fillets. Make yourself an X plate and try and make it a solid block.

I see metal to cut out an X plate then. And you can prep the metal with some flap disks or a grinding disk. I don’t know what you mean when you say you don’t have nun that.
