    Your welding is steadily improving as well your confidence....
    Vertical welds are challenging.... watch you puddle more closely and don't rush it.... may have to adjust temperature and or slow down application/side too side sweeps ...
    Practicing different application techniques will help you with appearance and strength of final weld...
    Very cool little yard truck ... fun to see it come together...
