The more practice you put in the better your welds will become and more importantly your confidence will grow. Don't be too harsh on yaself, there is nobody stronger on being a critic of your own work than yourself. Looking good so far buddy. In the early days if welds break it's no so important, grind it back and start again but build it stronger. You will soon be gluing things together with the best of them
Practice practice practice and be as comfortable as you can. Awkward positions will crop up from time to time but the more comfortable you are the more you can concentrate on your welds and not be distracted by things

Up date new photos managed a 2 hours this morning but after having a good start I just thrown my self in to it after a small bit of scrap welding to get the settings right I was flying for about 30 mins tacking and fair nice welds but then started on the welds to fully attach the plates once I had myself in to a good standing position the welds where getting long and that's when the problems started I now have a 5kg instead of the small real and when using it on shorter runs a long run the seams to start stuttering and after a small while lots of splatter started cheaked the gas co2 no gas looked and pressure is there opened the valve more gas coming out ok started again going ok
Had a coffee brake had a wired feed problem coil up refeed also seamed like lots of gas cheaked way over reduced it and started again seamed fine then more splatter gas again had a fiddle and finshed of what can be done but got fead up with having to keep playing around done one side in 15 mins took the rest of the time to 3 more sides and the wheel bar
The only thing I can think of on my way to work was poss the valve freezing up ?
And don't know what to do with the stuttering of the roll of wire
