"Stryped"
My advice in these circumstances because it's worked for me when I've
been struggling - go back to practicing pad-welds (you build up a
layer of weld metal on a plate by running parallel beads of weld).
Get control of this then start to move onward, little step by little
step.
The reason I say this is I think you have way too many variables in
play with what you photograph to know where to even start...
