My worst one was when building a new Heathkit oscilloscope.

All went well.  The construction was beautiful.  The filament wire pairs 
were nicely twisted.

Power ON.  Blow fuse.

The filament wires were shorted near most of the tube sockets.  The wire 
insulation had melted during soldering due to too much heat and the 
tight twisting.
