I may have been drilling through the hardened steel outer layer of a sheave with a masonry bit without properly clamping it down, and it may have then hit the soft plastic layer beneath and grabbed and flung it into my chest.
Fingat fine though so it's all good.

TLDR: Your drill press took a swing at you and you told it to get bent.

Not exactly crappy construction, but

I feel like I really accomplished something today.

I did this not too long ago. Granted, this bit was one of those "included in a box of screws and anchors" quality bits, but it still didn't tickle when it happened.

hardened steel should snap instead of bending, that's basically proof in both cases that the bit was not heat treated properly (or at all) and/or was made of mild steel. Like, mega garbage-tier quality, given how cheap it is to make and heat treat small drill bits normally anyway.

4 whole dollars at lowes. Are masonry bits perhaps done differently, since they need to be harder at the tip than a normal bit? Then again I have bent normal cheap bits when they stuck and spun my project, just never this dramatically. It did go through the hardened steel anyway. Annoying to get the metal flung at me but I got the project finished.

I guess it's possible that a masonry bit could have just the tip hardened with the shank intentionally left softer so that it doesn't shatter as easily if it binds up?

Masonry bits are generally a little carbide arrow tip brazed to a regular steel shank. How lovely that regular steel is depends entirely on how cheap your bit set was. "Included in the box" ones are single use only.

Got it. In that case it's no surprise at all that a masonry bit could bend instead of snapping.

If I were looking at buying a house and drove up and saw that roof, I would just keep on going. I could never rest easy, looking at that abomination every day.

Now with less breakage.

Ok, I'll be the weirdo: I kind of like it; it's sort of artistically jaunty while still being a functional roof. I wouldn't pick it myself, and I'm sure there are horror stories in the construction, but I can't hate it.

Help, I'm stuck at my parents house for Christmas, and the front porch cover they're really proud of is garbage. The underside is completely unfinished, raw plywood with the markings visible as well exposed brackets and fasteners. My mom wants me to remove the railing because apparently it's not to code.

Earlier this year, my dad keep talking about how whoever they hired had to keep coming back because he couldn't meet code. I suspect he just skipped town and now they're stuck with garbage.
