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.

This is a QotW answer The sad tale of The Glue
Over the long Easter weekend I was fixing a few bits and pieces around the house, and found that the front of a shelf was coming off.

I decided to use superglue to fix it back on, so I glued it all on, maybe being a little free with the amount that I used.

I noticed that I'd got a lace on my boots untied, so I bent down, rested my head on the front of the cabinet, tied it, then stood up, ripping out a good-sized clump of hair.

I felt both stupid, and hurt. Decided against telling anyone, so I had to get scissors to cut my now-disembodied hair from the front of the shelf. Left me feeling a right fool.

This is a QotW comment Thanks :)
I'm just glad I didn't glue my head-skin to it.

That could've been horrific...
