Great work mike.  Dont worry about finishes and other refinements yet in your new en devour in this hobby, as already mentioned as long as it works its a first class result.  keep making tools as you are doing and practice your skills will come naturally..

square holes are common in the machining environment and very useful for countless reasons, broaches are as you found very expensive yet not hard to make... simple turning skills and a little black magic with a heat gun can get you any broach you need and they are fun to make.

Keep up the good work sir..
