It's like riding a bike 
Great job there!! Not many can get a good ripple and decent consistency down after that long. I will only offer one critique, and we try out best not to be harsh, add one of two more dips when you get to the end of your weld and back off slowly. This will eliminate the crater at the end of the weld. Other than that, practice, practice, practice.

not that I can do any better, but to get real critique you need to slice it down the middle perpendicular to the weld bead direction in order to see the penetration into the root of the joint. THAT is what tells all, pretty beads aside.

Drop the lid and let it eat. I was away for over 20 years.
Give it 50 hours.
