Looking good Dave. Those welds should hold up fine. Think your moving ahead a little too fast, slow your advance a little and let it burn in. The edges of the weld show occasional under cut, (where the weld hasn't filled in the crater the arc created). In theory there should be none, but for a hack like me I like to see a little, lets me know Im getting good penetration and not just laying weld on top of the base.
Straight stringers as Dallen suggested are good, definitely give it a try, I have a hard time keeping them perfectly straight, especially where I need multiple passes to build up enough weld on a fillet.
