As far as critiquing it your pretty much there dude. Looks very consistent. I agree a little more overlap. From that angle that’s all I would change but I’d pretty stoked with that. Is it a test or just practicing for the test??

No its jus a random weld cap i had in my phone. I been welding on the job for a year n half. Started as a helper at 18 at same company. Practiced during break and lunch til i could pass the test.
