What's wrong with these welds?

Who has a good eye?

All just guesses.

The second (lower) bead could have been tighter against the first bead & overlapped more.

The right end of the third bead is a little too flat, but the left side is at a better angle after ~1/4 of the way across. The right side of the same bead could have been filled more at the end, plus the left end could have started more to the left.

The bottom weld has no slag......different machine?

The edges bother me. They look like they were run vertical down with a mig and didn't wet out fully.

outside of that, i would guess that the stacked welds are in the wrong order?
