SS, I see em Just Fine!!! I'm right there with you on the welding. I'm NOT a welder and the limited welding I've done was with a Lincoln Stick welder. I was able to Swirl on some welds that did the job and didn't know much when I did it. Not sure I could figure out how to use all the new fangled stuff. Looks like you've done some welding before too!!! Some nice swirls in that weld from what I remember about it and again that Ain't much!!!! The way I look at it is if the trailer stays together then the weld was a good one. Some Grinding and Paint will make it look good!

Older welders had much better windings. Some newer are even made of aluminum which is not a great conductor. I personally love the old Lincoln tombstone .
