Your welding is improving each time you post new pictures.

The penetration is getting there.

A couple of questions for you.

What size wire are you using ?

Are you welding from right to left ( Other way round if you are left handed) ?

The pictures looks as if you are welding in the wrong direction !!. This would explain the high build up and the erratic penetration.

On a downhand weld the MIG torch should be pushed away from the area being welded.

Looking a lot better though.

Welds looking much better............

The focus of your camera is getting worse though

With mig push the nozzle so the gas is cleaning the air away to make a air less pocket

mover the camera further away and crop the pictures to get better focus and a reasonably close image.
