A bit cold to my eye. Speed of travel and arc length a bit uneven. Trouble with restarts. Have you got the overlapping welds in the right order and with the right angles?

Generally pretty good.

See here for a nice example of multi pass welding

Unless you are using the 7018s from a vac pac, if you have an electric oven, try baking then at 150C for an hour before you use them.

and file off the flux at the end when restarting
