Sod Teddy Bears. This article reminded me of my first childhood DIY
experiments

I had several DIY childhood experiences and the bigger the good hiding from
my parents the more damage I must have caused.

The most memorable experiment was when my brother and I found our Dad's
hammer on the landing and we smashed the bathroom sink into bits to see how
long it would take to smash the sink into bits.

So what DIY experiments did you perform as a child? I know that one regular
poster deliberately electrocuted his sister.
