New tig owner in St. Louis MO

Got a solid hour of welding in tonight and I'll say I'm fairly comfortable welding on steel. Ran a bunch of passes on this piece of 1/8 square steel and a few turned out ok and others were UGLY! Still trying to get comfortable holding the torch and keeping the tungsten out of the puddle. So far I only have a total of 1 1/2 hours practice so I think I'm off to a good start. Going to try some thinner steel tomorrow and maybe thursday step into the aluminum welding. Here's a photo from today there's 3 welds there stacked together

Looking good for the amount of time you have. It may help some to sand off any mill scale on the material before TIG welding, it is hard to weld on mill scale with a TIG welding process.
