    Aluminum is interesting stuff.

    A weld not pictured, is perfectly smooth and shiny. The instructor said it was too hot, and although it is not of importance to the weld ( visual only) that he likes to see the ripples. And, i guess, most people do too.

    Oh and edited for inquiring minds, it was AC, 115A, pure tungsten electrode, mostly pedal to the metal, and a 1/16" rod, didn't notice the alloy.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
