Here's the pics:

It was a combination of things. For other newbs, here's what may help:
A magnifying insert on helmet (glasses off if you wear them)
CO2/Ar gas (WAY better than flux wire for indoor work)
Narrower weave for thinner guage.
Improve work angles in general
Magnifier and less smoke helped me to see puddle and size of weave.
Sure glad I asked for help here, and at the store when getting supplies.
Welds shown aren't consistent, (my "N" was not penetrating well on the first stroke. You can just see it in pic 2) but better overall. Very satisfying to say the least!
Thanks guys!
Neil.
