Good job Ted.

I go back to school tonight.
 
That looks like TIG too me.
 
It looks good, just keep practicing. MIG is the easiest to learn IMO. That weld looks good for a first pass, later on you'll probably be making more uniform welds that are evenly in the angle. Thinner stuff you'll want to "trigger weld".
I quit going to my ROP program because the teacher wouldn't let me advance to TIG so all I know is arc and MIG. It got to the point where I could weld 24 gauge steel with .035 wire.
 
Hard to tell, but it looks like you've got more weld on the bottom plate then in the crevice of your joint, especially in the end. Other then that ...

:cheers:
