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 eye protection
I was fabricating an adjutable exhaust hanger, cutting the slot with a jigsaw, couldn`t see what was going on, took the googles off and a piece of swarf went straight in my eye I was lucky , wearing soft contact lenses it melted in and the water had cooled it, quick trip to A+E as a check and £80 notes for a new lens OUCH, but nearly worse
