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.

^^Yes, but for a given resistance (i.e. human skin) the current is proportional to the voltage. So the higher the voltage, the higher the current and the greater chance you have of being zapped. Stick your tongue on a 9V battery and it tingles. Try it on a 240V mains cable and see what happens...
