Nicely done. Did you stop the puddle or arc then move and arc again. (not really spot or stitch)my version of a tig weld, done with a mig........with my eyes closed
guess I could overlap a little more

much easier on plate steel ....... I stop and start on sheet metal or eventually it burns through
I make sure its good and hot....... so it remains molten while I stop the arc...... then right back into it while it nice and red.....it also gives me a second to take a peek (through medium shade green glasses)
I call it stitching?

Do you get a better result if the wire feed rate is faster or slower?
My example would be that I want to weld up a exhaust pipe connection.

The wire feed has to be just right. If it's too slow you will weld up into the tip. Too fast and you keep gaining wire and your shielding gas doesn't work like it should.
