The tubing is 1/8th wall 6061 and the solid parts are 1 1/2 inch thick.
I preheat those before welding.
My main concern is the "dimes" I think they are spread too far apart...
I also need to work on consistency for estheticsTwo Dynasty 350's with Wireless pedals

yeahh, the "dimes" are a little far, closer would look better. but they still are nice. I wish i had adjustable frequency on my Sync200, but I'm stuck with 60Hz

Your puddles need to be spaced closer, like you think.
Also, I think you're a little heavy on the filler. Makes the weld look a little cold, although your amperage is in the ball park for .125. Thin to thick is always a challenge for aluminum.
Other than that, not bad.

weld beads
As a welding instructor, I think that your weld beads are too cold. Raise your voltage and reduce your filler input. DO NOT hurry you travel speed, as in TIG you are in control of the weld and not the weld in control of you.
GOOD LUCK and don't give up. The longer you stay with it the better it gets.
