DIY disasters
I 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.

I did the opposite
Shortly after purchasing it, I tightened the strings of my (used, $20) guitar so that if you strummed it "open" you'd get a C-major chord. Got a nice chuckle out of it. Then I forgot to re-tune it the way it was supposed to be. The next time I went down into the basement, the added tension had snapped the neck in two.
