Where does it clarify that manufacturing includes personal use? I did read it over a couple of times and I couldn't find anything that says that, at least not in those words.
However, it may be that the suspect violated a different section of the law:
It shall be unlawful for any person to store any explosive material in a manner not in conformity with regulations promulgated by the Attorney General.
The suspect may also have violated the NFA, by manufacturing destructive devices without appropriate permitting or record keeping.

- solidsnack9000 2y agoYou may be referring to (h), but that is the definition of "manufacturer". I'm not sure if we can take that to mean "engaged in the business of manufacturing" includes non-commercial activity.
- lazide 2y agoyou are correct, I pasted a link to the ATF saying so in a parallel comment. it’s not explicitly called out in the law, like you’re noting. rather that personal, non-commercial use just isn’t covered by the law. So legal/exempt. Other situations, like non-personal, non-commercial use are covered - distribution requires licensing even if not paid, same as import/export, doing business in explosives, etc. Where some YouTubers and the like have gotten in trouble is when they start making money off what would otherwise be personal use (like showing videos of tannerite usage, or some other synthesis), but funny enough if they get demonitized and aren’t using it for some business purpose, they’re fine.
