Seriously? Even the gardening clubs? That's the last place I'd expect it. My aunt's rose society got super intense about rules last year. Started kicking people out over tiny things. Feels like you can't just enjoy stuff anymore without it getting weird.

Just read an article about DIY holiday disasters, and @logan205, your uncle's grill story totally fits!

Miracle? More like basic dog sense, which @hayden709 clearly gets.

Twice a year like clockwork, mine does the exact same thing.

Honestly, I used to be right there with @taylor668 thinking it was always the heat or the metal. Tbh, I fought a twisted piece for a whole afternoon once before my buddy pointed out my bench itself was out of level. Ngl, it makes a huge difference if your setup isn't square. A worn vise jaw would totally put a sneaky bend in the work before you even start twisting. Sometimes the simplest tool problem is the real one hiding in plain sight.
