There is no need to build this model using surfaces. This is a pretty simple collection of 2D extrusions.
I think it is good practice to learn surfacing tools if that is the goal, but with this model it just seems like it is a lot of extra work to trim, knit, and solidify surfaces when solids can work just as well.
Attached is a screenshot of a model based on your sketches. No surfaces were used, just a solid loft. some cuts, and an extrude, followed with some fillets.
I opened all three SW models, but it is unclear where you are stuck.
Try to be more careful when making your selections for Lofts. Surface-Loft5 has an unintended twist applied to it. It may not matter in this model, but such defects can cause a lot of trouble with more complex models.
