Great job, something I always wanted to learn, just don't have access to welding equipment.

Yes, Mel is a great teacher!

I think it looks like a space ship

I agree with R8R ROK....get some scrap metal and try it out. If you have questions, there are probably a bunch of people on here willing to give advice. I don't have enough experience yet to offer any help, but I'm sure there are others here who do.

Very nice work! Looks like the home shop needs a welding machine!
Yep, I think a welder is going on the want list

Congrats, those are great - funny my wife is also the welder of the family
Yeah, welding in awkward situations is the tricky part. I haven't tried that yet.

Nice Flow Pattern - Now if you get Temperature ratings down that would make you Perfect. Very impressive.

That's awesome. I'm sure your husband is proud. If my wife could put beads down like that I'd start my own shop! I think you have inspired me to look into some welding classes. I always wanted to learn, just never have. Great job! Also, my wife can out shoot me as wll with her 9mm!
