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.

When working with fibreglassdon't wear a tshirt and no gloves. Heed this advice especiallly if you have skin that has an allergic reaction to E45 due to being stupidly sensitive.
Having your entire upper body covered in small glass splinters is painfull.
Also, when laying tongue and groove flooring, try and look at where the hammer is coming down as you force the planks together. Ideally it should hit the wooden block against the tongue side. Not your finger.
Length- about 2mm thick for the first cm of my finger.
