Nice.

Try to add filler more on top of your puddle, when doing these types of weld it helps, especially when your doing something that thin that can potentially keyhole really bad.

Glad to have you Ronnie.

Best wishes Ronald.

I use em to tack parts with mostly, or if your in a bind, you can tack the filler wire together and make a usable piece of it. Mostly I just use them to tack with.

The hole was cut in the plate, but the bung was welded in last.

Nice project bud. Isn’t fabrication oddly satisfying?

Yea buddy, that’s my kind of project there bud.

Try putting a dab of filler at the end of your weld and at the beginning, let it cool just a second the retry your welds. This is a practice plate of course, but what it will do is show you what your problem is. To me it appears that maybe your not adding enough filler wire at the beginning and end of your welds. It takes practice and some patience. Aluminum can be frustrating to say the least. Hang in there bro. We have all been there.
