The nerdy version of "Live.Laugh. Love." I made for my wife out of scrap 1x4s. This is the chemical structure of Oxytocin. (sh.itjust.works)

I started this project in August 2020 and after a few weeks when I was just about finished assembling the pieces it fell off my work bench and broke into dozens of fragments that I then threw into the corner of my shop out of frustration. There it sat quietly judging me and haunting me for almost 3 years until I got tired of it being in my way and finally finished it to put it out of my misery.

So this post is for everyone with an unfinished project lurking in the corners of their shop collecting dust. You can do it!

That's incredible. My wife has always wanted this exact piece.

    I love this! Maybe when I've got the spare money I'll even do something like it as well (probably with caffeine though)

    I just gave it a goog and you're in luck, caffeine has a significantly smaller structure than oxytocin so it shouldnt cost you as much in lumber. It's shape would probably make for some cool looking shelves too.

    Yeah I remember it from the couple of computers that my grade school had. I don't know even know what operating system this screen comes from.

    I do know that I spent way too many hours playing Oregon Trail on them in after school care.
