looks good for your first time.but from the angle that i see, your welds look alittle convex (dome shaped). you need to slow down a bit and feed a little less filler rod.get some pics of the bottom side so we can see what kind of fusion and penatration you are getting.but overall i say that is damn good for your first time.keep it up!

thanks...i agree... I think i still need to get my timing down, im either burning through or getting too much of a convex shape.

looks good for your first time. try using less rod and less heat at the end of your weld and ease off the pedal. but overall nice job for your first time. keep it up. tig requires practice and time.
