Those are really cool and I like your sense of experimentation!
For the one that doesn't cut as well, you could try to install it with the blade bevel up and grind an angle to make the bed angle and bevel angle somewhere around 90 degrees combined and use it as a scraping plane. It might not work for shaping braces, but it might be usable on harder woods like guitar binding, edges of a bridge or maybe on a headstock overlay. Just a thought!

If I'm correct the sawblade you use is one with tungsten-carbide tips. This means the sawing action will be done bij the tips, not the blade. If you want to be sure the material you use for blade-making is a high-carbon (capable to be heat-treated) steel, you better use an old file, or a sawblade where the cutting tip is the same material as the rest of the blade. Anyway: I think this is indeed carbon-steel when looking at the sparks and a very nice build. Best regards from the Netherlands

You missed a step in the hardening process. It is important to anneal the metal first before going on to hardening. To anneal the steel, heat to the critical point (ie the non magnetic temperature) then bury in hardwood ash or lime, until cool to room temperature. Then you can proceed to harden and temper.

In the plane with steep angle and won't cut, you could make into scraper plane just by adding anther piece of wood the the back portion. That will force the blade into a perpendicular position. Instead of not using it. You can also take a file to the back portion to lower the angle and see if that works. On something so tiny it wouldn't take much filing to get it down to 30°. Enjoyed watching this a lot!
