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.

My shop teacher
always did this. He got so many black nails through the course of teaching us useless numpties which end of a drill was up that he had a drill bit devoted to it. Handily, he was also the biology teacher (small school) so he used to autoclave it between uses. I wouldn't like to have to do it to myself, but he was a dab hand at it.
