Flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead i am having small issues with vertical they arent looking very consistent this is my first year at welding school in high school and just looking for advice

Looks pretty nice to me for a vertical, especially if thats your 1st layer vertical.

How many hours of practice do you have in training now ?

For vertical it looks pretty good...BTW, is the pic upside down or were you travelling vertical down?
