Not bad krawlin, with .023" wire MIG you could get some smaller beads, with just using a small circular motion. Lots of welders will only do that with stick welding, but it's almost always beneficial regardless the process you're using.

With a newer squarewave TIG it's possible to use a 2% Thoriated tungsten ground to a point with AC, which is what you need for some gorgeous aluminum beads. MIG is a great place to start, but once you've done some stainless with a TIG, nothing else compares.

Looks pretty good, keep it up.
