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.

Airfix Arse-UpsMy old chap introduced me to Airfix kits when I was a very small boy - about six years old. Oddly, I was trusted with glue, paint and sharp things to separate fuselage from plastic frame.
However, my Dad's interpretations were a thing of wonder. With his perilously short attention span and amost monumental temper, getting him to make something as patience testing as - say an Airfix Hawker Hurricane - resulted in some amusing renderings.
Oh yes, we had pilots painted in orange with bright yellow helmets, Illusyn 28s with one wing unpainted, Victor bombers in a fetching grey/brown camo and Sopwith Camels finished in Sky Blue and Daffodil Yellow.
