As pretty as you can get it. I personal blow holes right threw it. My friends are pretty good at it and they challenge each other all the time.
How is the welding lessons going? Any updates?
Here is my first time welding ever after about 60 mins of YouTube vids. The vids by weldingtipsandtricks.com I found most helpful as its filmed through the hood so u can see the arc, puddle, and different techniques. I also messed around with the settings and figured out what works best.

Cool Candy dish. Looks Heavy though lol.
I'm in the same boat needing to learn but don't know anyone locally to teach me. Told my sister it would be cool to learn how to weld so she bought me a Hobart Handler 190 for my birthday next week.. I feel bad now cause its such an expensive gift and I've tried laying beads with a friends MIG and holy crap were they sloppy. Guess I need practice...
