Practice practice practice!
I don’t think the cuts don’t look that bad, they just need to be cleaned up. You should look into building a shooting board to help square up the ends. I believe Paul has a video on shooting boards here.
Btw, you have come to the right place to learn how to work wood! I wish I would’ve found this site when I started out in this hobby.
As far as tools go, I would search Paul Srllars blog on his recommendations. If I knew about his blog I would’ve saved a ton of money.
Other than that, keep at it!
