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.

Add MFI to the list of bastards!My step-brother is pretty good with his hands, has built a cupboard from scratch, managed to put together a computer desk in just over an hour, not too bad an acheivement. It stood fairly well (was supported on both sides though) and we never really had a problem with it, until the day came when i removed the monitor from it, after a year and a half.
The loss of weight caused it to come apart from the back. We couldn't blame my brother, as on closer inspection each and every screw had been ripped straight through the wood when it fell. Bastards...
