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 you've cut the piece of woodI often run my hand over the cut to check it for smoothness - now I'm a huge fan of manual tools so cuts aren't always perfect and often require a second going over with a plane.....
But this one time, I did an ugly, ugly cut - ran my hand over it - and came away with 4 splinters, a cut hand and extra depth to my swearing ability...

why is it, that when you cut a piece of wood...your first inclination is to run your hand along the cut? Even when you know the results are going to be bad?
Still, a good cut is a beautiful thing to behold. I almost don't want to attach anything to it and obscure the view of the perfect cut.
