Master Soldering help needed for a clean solder

[Electronurd]

Hi plumbers, I am popping here today to ask how do I solder a clean join? For example I am currently in the process of creating a lamp for my living room out of copper pipe. I started to solder today and realised I'm crap :smile5:. I cleaned the pipe and the elbows and fluxed, but no matter how hard I tried the solder went everywhere and I ended up with proper messy pipe joins.

I would like to create something like the following:

as you can see the joins are spectacular and look very clean and nicely done. My question is how??

thought I'd ask plumbers as you may know?

But then would have to be submitted for testing to IP44 or whatever.
Seriously, no ones mentioned earth continuity, so adhesive would not be ok unless separate earth conductor is used.
