Is there a mill line on that pipe? It's easy to to get plum if there is one. That young man can lay out good, no 1/2" gaps to fill there. Why do you run the weld up hill? I know it's not for the strength, and I'm sure you have a good reason.
I run the weld both ways because I'm filling a gap. Using pipe a size smaller than the post you can make a straight cut instead of a saddle. No sir it's not structural strong. But it's plenty strong.
And braces don't pay structural strong.
Plus I can have unskilled labor do it.
