welding welding who's done the welding now

Okay I welded my first bit of welding without also bolting it. The confidence is much better now. The welds are not pretty and probably some overkill there but it seems to be holding just fine. I'll know more after I use it a while.

Did I say overkill I used almost a whole rod to weld about ten inches of seam. I went over it numerous times since it didn't look like I got it all. I think I am running the bead too fast. It seems to skip. I have some splatter as well since the arc is probably too far away at times. But I'm getting there.
