DIY disastersI just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

I feel your painI did my first oil change on my old beemer last week, and like all middle aged safety concious bikers, I wore latex gloves. Unfortunately the drain plug was horizontal, so the hot oil shot out sideways.
I deflected it into the drainer with my hand. Latex melts, and then it hardens. I've still got fingerprints, but they're somewhat obscured.
Also, I have to visit an engineer on Monday to undo the damage I did trying to get the oil filter out.
