Holy cow Dave, you shined those things up like a new penny! 
Everybody has to shake the cobwebs out if they haven't welded for some time. Like Steve says, my last welds always look better than my first. If you're doing it 40 hours a week it's a different story. What type of electrodes did you use on that?
For some reason I thought you were going to just use the two bottom angles as your lower die. That's why I asked about the bottom radius previously. But the third angle on top makes that a moot point. Makes more sense to me now.
It obviously works just fine and I say it's another job well done. I fear that any stray pieces of metal laying around your shop are doomed to end up as pretzels for some time to come though.
