Opinions on my welds?

Hi everyone,

Just bought a Clarke 151TE and just practicing a bit with some 2mm steel bars. Am using CO2/Argon mix from hobby bottles.

What do you guys think? Anything wrong with it?

You look to be on the right track, my only comments would be the weld needs to sit a lot flatter, either turn the volts up or the wire feed speed down.
The leg length of the weld only needs to be around the same as the material thickness so try and get used to travelling a bit quicker and try to avoid stopping/starting in a corner, apart from that looking good

Thanks for the feedback. I also thought that the welds were a bit too thick, will try and get them flatter.
