Hi David,
Considering you didn't use filler wire that is a cracking first go with a Tig. 
When you get some, you will find that those little pin holes will no longer be a problem.
I've had several U2U's about these welders and if I have been of help to any of you then I'm a happy bunny.
So, get out there, get welding, and next time there's a poll "scratch build or kit" lets see a few more votes for the chassis
builders. 
Who was it that had a sig, "Kits are for Girls"? 
(No offence intended)
Good luck to all

Second that!! The first pic is great, in fact to be honest i always end up with undercut doing that without filler!!

PS spark gap for the HF is not issue, that's how my large and (when new) very expensive ESAB AcDC TIG does it, actually uses a spark plug!!!

There is plenty undercut, this weekend I should have some filler wire though.
Looking forward to that although I will miss two hands steadying the torch!

if you can get a remote foot pedal control (or do them have them as std? ) then you can get a smaller "non trigger" type torch which is so
small that its easy to use one handed.
I have the same issue with the trigger torch on the TIG here at work, but at home I have a small WP20 non-trigger torch, the foot pedal does the
switching and current.
I didn't realise how nice the torch was until I used some ones with triggers on, they feel SOOO clumsy by comparison.
only trouble might be I think the smaller torches are water cooled, mine certainly is, which could be an issue......
907 will be able to help you more if you need it

are spares readily available for these, or are they "generic"?
I'm looking at an AC/DC tig through someone recommended on here, but as a back up cheapy machine to that, these do look rather tempting.
