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.

chuck keysalways remember DT at school the teacher would say always make sure the chuck key isnt attached to the drill before u move it make sure its out and on a chain , becuase it will fly off and rip some one a new arsehole in there head, que myself keeping chuck key , key then flying out and tremendous speed across the class room narrowly missing peoples heads before embedding in the cardbord box, i quickly and discreetly wedged it out the box and never used it again

damn D&T teachersyou think having being told to keep the chuck key out is bad?
My entire first year of technology consisted of a teacher with HUGE eyebrows shouting at us that the on/off button on the computer monitors has "a limited amount of presses".
Cut back to me cursing his wrinkly retired ass about wasting an entire year and hastily doing my D&T GCSE coursework within half the allocated time!

Lathes...A friend of mine at school did that with a lathe and was very lucky it got flung away from him. Cue one apoplectic techy teacher (hello Mr Quaye!) and lots of shouting for the rest of the double period.
