This is a question 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.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Duck tape was our bestest friend.

This is a QotW comment For perfect DIY
you only need duck tape and WD40.

If it moves and shouldn't, duck tape
If it doesn't move and should, WD40

Who needs Bob the builder?

This is a QotW comment Why would you need a hammer?
Especially when you have a perfectly good shoe to use instead.
