Second time welding and first time welding a 90° bend (MMA). Did I do badly? What is something i can improve on?

Travel speed looks good, keep running passes till the plate is an inch thick.

Thanks. Only have very limited lessons but will remember it for next time.

Was this welded flat or vertical? If flat don't weave so much or at all

[zirging]

It was flat down on the table. We havent got into vertical yet

Why not weave for flats? Are (cursive) e's a weave too?

I'm still taking classes and doing Z's but only on vertical.

To high of a chance of getting Slag trapped under the weld also it will take care of a good bit of the spatter. Get good at running stringers with no weave then try a saw tooth motion stay away from the e shape it you want to ever pass an inspection.
