Any shots of the inside?
Looks solid to me. Now go get some more gas. And turn up the heat in the garage, cuz it's gonna be another cold one tonight!

This shouldnt matter since you dont weld with bottle pressure, you weld with regulated pressure.
As long as the bottle pressure isnt lower then the regulated pressure (if it is your empty) then you will still have the same volume/pressure as you do if the bottle is full or half full.

It seemed like the flow rate wasn't as high as it normally is, maybe the bottle was just close to empty.

If the flow seems low to you stop and take a look at the regulator gauge. If it feels a little low then turn the reg up a tad. looks great though im sure it will hold just fine

Re: (rice a roni)
This thread is a little old but ill throw in my opinions anyway When welding pipe you have to keep your gun at the same angle to the weld at all times. This means that you roll your wrist as you go around the pipe. Ive found that the "in/out" method is much prettier(though a little harder) than the tack method. The "in/out" method is simply weaving the the pool side to side to create a tig looking weld. I tend to go out about a 1/4in then come back in about an 1/8in. If done right itll look similar to a tig weld.
Heres a pipe that i did with the "in/out" method.
BTW-If youve got spatter then your machine isnt set up right. I get a little piece of spatter on occasion...but not very often. Despite what people think, mig welds can look as good as tig if the right person does it
