Yeah Nah @systolic

I can't find the sections of those Acts where it says you can make them for personel use.

Legislation only tells you what you are not allowed to do. Unless something is specified as illegal, it is OK. If you have a standard firearms licence then you are allowed to make A category firearms for your own use. You can subsequently sell them after a suitable period of time. Bear in mind that any commissioned officer of police has the power to check (and reject as unsafe) any firearm (Arms Act, Sec 59).

nothing fancy but I do this was a early prototype , basically a powder version vs cooking it also I was making the fuses out of yarn they were a little tricky & potassium nitrate is like a salt so absorbs moisture really easy just left on the bench will degrade them quick ...black powder fuse is much better , anyway experimenting with different ways, work or fail was good fun

well if an officer of the law were to say my home made firearm is un safe then i would expect that officer to be a qualified/experienced gunsmith.

I cant take any pics of my anti personal mines for two reasons.... firstly, i have no hands or feet now.
secondly, my mines are all blown up.

Are you Military or Police? No maybe Military Police? You may have passed some legal papers but definitely failed the "do I have a basic sense of humor?" test.
