How do I get better? Is it possible to make a seamless connection

Next time continue the weld for another 1/2" or so.

It was on a tube and it was at a moment where i had to stop and turn it over

I like to pull the puddle back a bit. Seems to makes the seam look a bit better

>>1216644
Looks good to me. Better than the products made by my company.

So basically, you're better then a bunch of Chinese children.

Looks like your wire speed might be a bit high and you are dragging the pool.

so much undercut

All welding methods leave a seam, so no. If you meant "smooth, fully penetrated, free of inclusions or voids" then yes, but it's trickier than other common methods, especially at restarts. If you need to ensure good penetration at a restart, gouge out the end of the bead to as deep as it needs to penetrate. This also helps smooth the profile of the restart. Just be sure to gouge it out far enough back that the puddle is nice and hot by the time you get to the fresh base metal.

Also, resize images as appropriate. Do you really think we need twelve megapixels to see the weld?

fuck off, i'd rather some giant image then some tiny piece of shit with 3 pixels

>the only size options are different by a factor of four million

>>1216644
backstep and feather end your next weld at the start of your first weld and it will give you a flatter profile

>>1216644
Looks like to much heat are you pushing or pulling the weld pool

>suggesting a layman to use gouging procedure

Did bebby just learn a new word to impress your friends on /diy/ with?

Gouging is serious shit, not to be taken lightly.

Certainly, but it should already be within OP's capabilities. Perhaps you have forgotten that "gouging" is a general term for various processes that produce a particular result, and that specialized industrial procedures with "gouging" in their name are not the only ways to achieve it.

This

You need to slow the fuck down and make sure you tie in to the base metal at the top and bottom of the weld. Also it looks like you may have done a straight drag here which can work but try to make small cursive e's or o's, might help you tie in better.

As for the seams just run the puddle into the existing weld a bit

What machine? Material thickness?
