You have good mechanics down, now all you do from there is practice and get better. Be carefull on the heat on the t weld. I know its hard to keep the puddle goin sometimes, but i can see a little bit of undercutting. Just add more filler and you'll be set.

Looks like you'll want deeper penetration. From the looks of it, your welds are mostly filler sitting on top of an unpenetrated surface. Keep it up.

doing a bead on a flat piece of metal is not too bad, now try to but weld two pieces tougheter and see how it works.

btw: u want to start with some thinger materials so you get the idea on how to regulate your heat.
