Hi there,
I practised more today, and published new pictures on my blog. The good news is I got rid of the horrible big bubbly bead I had yesterday, so welds look much nicer.

All comments, advises, help are welcome.
Thanks a lot.

To me your beads still seem high.I think that the wire speed is still a bit too high and also you are moving a bit too slow doing the run.

Looks like you have the penetration side of things sorted now .....I think like ozzy said ,your feed rate still seems high, drop the rate until it starts to "bobble"
at the end of the wire and then turn it back up till it stops "bobbling" (usually 1 to 1.5) and looks like it is just disappearing instead.
