Another packed episode from the podcast that celebrates all the great things you love about DIY.  Join Shane, Steve and the Shovel as they divulge all their DIY wisdom and hilarious DIY stories.

The boys chat about why 'the shed' is so important to their DIY success.

We hear from a listener (and his kids) who created their own Melbourne shed orchestra and made some music in his shed with a range of tools including a ladder, phillips head screw driver, jerry can, an air compressor, drill, rake head, wire brush, 2-stroke fuel tin, various jars and glasses played with a steel straw and chopstick.

And find out why the Shovel gets so disappointed when he can't pay more for a new DIY tool. All that plus plenty more on this weeks episode.

Welcome to Tall Tales And Epic Fails...the podcast that celebrates all things DIY or as we say DIWhynot! Because we've all been there. From being sent to fetch a box of sky hooks or a tin of striped paint to spilling coffee all over the instructions before beginning assembly, we've all had our moments.

If you're looking for tips on how to make the perfect mitre joint or discover secrets of master craftspeople, this is probably the wrong podcast for you. If, however, you're up for a laugh as three ordinary (in fact, very ordinary) handymen discuss the motivations, joys, and frustrations of DIY, you're in exactly the right place.

In this episode we meet the team who tell us why they love DIY. The shovel shares with us why the excuse area of his brain has grown enormously since starting his own DIY projects. We find out from Shane, Steve and The Shovel what they think is the best DIY tool.

We also hear an epic DIY story from our weekly Mitre 10 out of 10 for effort DIY winner who shares his incredible yarn of how he was dragged into his great mate's bigger than 'Ben-Hur' DIY boat building project....it's a classic!

And how did WD40 actually get its name? To find out this and hear a whole lot more funny stuff from the team, listen to the podcast now.
