Where can I improve
I have been welding for around 4 months, helping here and there. I usually cut the material, but every now and again my boss will have me put something together. Before this I had never once worked in any sort of trade before.
Today I helped weld together this porch that we are making for a customer.
I think I need to be a bit more consistent on my speed. Looking for any commentary on my welds, what it is that I could maybe be doing better?

Hard to tell from a photo but the last photo doesn't look like you are getting much penetration into the material, it looks like it's sitting on the surface. Could be a speed thing or settings.
