    When the computer is starting and you get the black screen with the flashing cursor,spam the F8 key. This will take you to a menu where you will tell windows to start in safe mode. Once in safe mode and booted into windows, open the start button in the bottom left and in the search bar type run and hit enter. In the window that pops up delete whatever is in the box (if there is anything at all), type cmd and press enter. From there, to change a user's password, type:
    net user user_name /domain (replace user_name with your user name)
    When you are prompted to type a password for the user, type the new password, not the existing password. After you type the new password, the system prompts you to retype the password to confirm. The password is now changed.
    Alternatively, you can type the following command:
    net user user_name  new_password (replace user_name with your user name and new_password with your new password)
    Now, DON'T forget it this time!

    So it begins!!
     
      For those who wish to have a look at the sketchup model for this desk,
     
    I have uploaded it to here
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97695353/desk%20final.skp
     
    You can download Sketchup here if you do not have it

    Conceptual design

     
     
     
    Here is what the timber looks like. Is native NZ Rimu. Please excuse the end one with the bird poo, that will be sanded off in due course. bloody sparrows in the shed >.<

     
     
     
    Cut some of the pieces to length of 650, after everything has been glued together will refine the length to 600 

     
     
     
    Tools for the job. PVA glue, biscuits. annnd a... Biscuit cutter? (who cares about its real name biscuit cutter sounds cool)

     

     

     
     
     
    As you can see, there is some light inbetween the boards, so a nice plane on areas will help close those gaps up

     
     
     
    Some fellow putting the biscuits into their grooves after a nice layers of PVA Glue.

     
     
     
    All clamped up, with some weights on the timber to stop it from setting wonky 
    This here is ONE side to the draw unit
     


     
     
    Had to take the pieces to school and use the planer to make the edges all smooth, and to take any imperfections out
     

     

     
     
     
    Here are the two horizontal supports for the desk, which the one on the left will be at the front as it has the toe bit on it. Sanded down with lovely wet and dry sandpaper to give it a baby smooth finish 
     

     

     

     

     


     
     
    This is what happens once you get a nice plane
     


     
     
    drilling out the holes for the dowels to go in, 1mm larger then the dowel so that the glue sets better
     

     

     
     
    Once all holes drilled its time to start gluing them in place, and setting everything up to be cramped together
     


     

     
     
     
    Now she is cramped, the draw body is setting, and now it is time to make the draws them selves 
     


     

     

     

     
     

     
    Here are the draw fronts cut a little oversize just to be safe, not sanded or thicknessed or anything yet

     

     
    My small wee thicknesser working its magic on the draw fronts, boy does this puppy make a mess!!

     

     

     
    currently have two racks installed at the moment, start from the bottom and work your way up. Doing one at a time to make sure everything fits perfectly on the first time!

     

     

     
    These are the draw sides, just some MDF which I will be painting matte black. Think it is somewhere around 12-13mm thick.

     
    The box of which the draws will be just sitting there for a test fit, have to make sure that it sits on the sliders properly 

     

     
    And here are the sides and front/back for the two bottom draws going to school to get everything cut to length properly and use that lovely big planner (note to self, buy one of those big planners as they make life so much easier)

     
    Bruce one of the pet lambs thought he would come up and see what's up. Was more interested in sticking his head in boxes around the shed though lol

     
    Since the thicknesser I used at school had a few chips in the blade (GRRR) spent about an hour belt sanding the sides to make all the imperfections go away, belt was a 'used' 120 grit piece

     
    Time to smoothen the sides up and then further make sure there are no ridges because you can certainly feel if there is anything wrong with a certain spot if the rest is smooth! This was I think around a 80 grit on a circular sander

     
    After happy with the piece of timber, it was time to move to the 240 grit wet/dry. After 5 minutes of nice, slow and steady sanding. I can assure you that there was much pleasure in rubbing my hand around the timber... my GOD it is smooth.

     
    So this is what it looked like before sanding

     
    And this is what a few minutes of 240 grit wet/dry does 

     
    All the pieces have now been sanded down to get rid of all imperfections that I could

     
    Sam and I discussing what to do next.

     
    GOOD MAN SAM! That's right, have to have the aluminium rods for the 'files' to sit on

     
    All cut to length and the ends filed down

     
    All is well 

     
    both ends in, and the file fits. Looks like my measuring was correct 

     
    Sam now bored and reflecting on life as it is 

     
    Predrilling holes for the sides to be nailed to the Side of the FRONT/BACK

     
    Both sides done

     
    Add a line of glue for extra support

     
    Straightened it up and nailed em all in!

     
    Now to do the next side 

     
    Can't forget to add the rails in when putting the other side on!!

     
    Predrilled the holes and put the nails in ready to smack em along the bottom. 

     
     
    Here is the draw unit in some decent light Still have to get the draw front on too.

     
    Time to screw the rail sliders for the draw on. Firstly I pre drilled the hole with a very small drill bit, just to prevent any cracking of the MDF then in the screw goes!

     
    Here is the bottom draw front, and after some 360 wet/dry. You can see the shiny'ness, it is so smooth 

     
    Since I cannot do any more draws till I get some more custom wood, thought I would be useful and get the other sides legs sorted. So found some nice pieces of more Rimu, which will be thicknessed down a bit, and will router the edges too

     
    Ran them through the thicknesser, got hit in the face by a few flying chips. Lucky my safety glasses protected my eyes 

     

     

     
     
    So now both pieces are lovely and square/flat/straight

     

     
     
    Time to clean up the mess made by thicknessing...

     
     
    Clamping a bead across the front piece and the draw, to make sure that everything is lined up 

     

     

     
     
    All lined up, happy with it. Now let us screw it on!

     
     
    The final result

     
     
    Time to sort out the spacing between each draw, found the right packers.

     

     
     
    Everything has been cut up to length and sanded down for the middle draw unit.

     
     
    Let us commence the building!

     

     
     
    Time to get the runners aligned and sorted too...

     

     
     
    Getting the spacing sorted with the new packer, and then clamping and screwing again

     

     
     
     
    Same as before of how to do the attach the front piece to the box

     

     
     
    Only one left to do!

     
     
    Here is my beast and the box of bits

     
     
    Time to router the edges of the legs! Here are the two bits that I will be using (note: the big one is for the legs, the small one is for a bevel around the outside of the draws)

     

     
     
    I hadn't used a router before, so got mum to show me how to do it, 

     
     
    We were left with a good result, nice smooth. lovely.

     
     
    Now time to sand the edges down so that there isn't a "step" from the flat piece to the curve (above pic)

     
     
     
    Routered the edge of the LEFT and RIGHT side of all the draws and the BOTTOM of the bottom draw. 

     
     
    Once I finished sanding the saw marks, the curve had kinda disappeared, no problems. Will re-router it again 

     
     
    The timber I am using is recycled stuff, so there are a few nail holes here and there. Clever trick, use the saw dust of the rimu that has been collected in the table saw bin and mix with PVA glue to make a nice formula that will fill in the holes, dry hard. and then be the most unnoticeable filler!

     
     
    After the pva had dried, this is what we were left with

     

     
     
    The chisel then got it off to a nice smooth finish that will get sanded down, it might not look perfect, but you can notice a hole in a timber from a mile away

     

     
     
    Now it's time to get a piece of wood sorted for the side rail connecting the two legs together

     

     
     
    Might as well get the back runner cut while I am here!

    yep. I have 2 248h panels which I recommend you get instead because the 247h has horrible ghosting. 
    The 247h is actually a 23.6 inch monitor and has an ugly large bezel. 
    The 248h panels are great if you are on a budget but eventually I had to upgrade :/
