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.

Disaster-free zoneHaven't posted before this week because mainly because I've been too busy, but also, I'm fookin' ace at DIY. No disasters chez che - if you know what I mean.
One little observation for you though: If you ever decide to sand a floor; the main bit is fine, a bit like using an industrial strength lawn-mower on your floorboards with similar results if you're not careful, but for the edges, you need an edging sander. Using one of those buggers looks and feels exactly as if you were throttling a Tasmanian devil - no other way of describing it. By the end of the day it'll feel as if Taz won on points after 15 rounds. You'll also be coughing up sawdust for about four days and dusting it off things two weeks later. Excellent if you don't like your neighbours though.
