A fantastic new machine is moved into my workshop, and I love it already

Cricut Maker is an American cutting plotter can cut, gravere, Debos, write, false mm. And with the recent "knife blade" can cut wood, leather, paperboard and cardboard up to 2,4 mm thickness. It provides unlimited possibilities

When I worked 10 years as a designer in the United States, is jegforholdsvis often in New York or San Francisco. I have been several times in the wonderful hobby shop Michaels i New York, and dreamed of a Cricut Easy Press. It's a super nifty heat press to textile fixation, setting the temperature and tod, and presses with his hands. It is super smart and perfect, when I'm out and hold courses, when my great heat press weighs 50 kg. But in the US they have the only 110 V, so it was a dream, men i sommers tog jeg så ”tilløb” og købte en varmepude til pressen med hjem.

At home I started to explore options and prices, and suddenly I caught in the large Cricut Universe exists. I spent a whole week to watch You Tube videos online, and watch and read a lot about their cutting machine Cricut Maker. I surpassed my teenage boy to watch You Tube, but I would know EVERYTHING ... and I was “hooked”, and suddenly there was no turning back, og jeg endte med at købe både varmepressen og en Cricut Maker maskine plus en masse tilbehør.

The machine is "Apple" of cutting machines, super user-friendly design and software. One can even use the software from both mobile and tablet. Everything from the humorous logo and name "Cricut" (Games on cricket cricket, where the last part is replaced with "cut" for tinge, and the logo is the letter C with feelers) to machine, heat presses, solving tools and software are incredibly thoughtful and delicious. I think it can be operated by all, children and the elderly. Perhaps the year's communion gift, it is much cheaper than a mobile phone, og der er uanede muligheder og til timers kreativ udfoldelse.

The software is called “Cricut Design Space” and can be operated from both mobile, tablet and computer. It is very easy to go to, and there is also an archive with a lot of files you can use, either free or files to the encirclement $1. Of course you can also import files from other applications. I draw even in Adobe Illustrator and export the them as SVG files, I then open the Cricut Design Space. You can also take photos with mobile or tablet, and then open them and make them cut files in the application. But choose easily what to do with the file, glow, debos etc.Efter choice of function you get a choice between a lot of different materials, when the material is selected, vises hvilken kniv eller hoved man skal bruge.

Maskinen lever helt op til at hvad jeg havde læst og set inden.
I have thrown me out of it, have cut foils, tree, cardboard and debos in various materials. Skal også have prøvet læder og nogle af de andre printhoveder.

Along with all my other Textile printers I have actually a large cutting plotter already, but it is so difficult to use, and the knives are super expensive and hard to change, so there should not enjoy some of experimenting with different materials. But Cricut there are all the different kinds of knives, og det hele er så super nemt.

Cricut also made pens and cut the foil with what they call “Infusible ink”, which is the same as the sublimation / dye sub ink, der blandt andet bruges på krus og polyester/sportstøj.
Markers can be inserted into the machine and draw on plain copy paper, then it is heated over to the mug or other. I've actually been looking for dye sub pens for some years, when I want to use them for my courses with children, so perfect for me. Also great with foil, where you cut his motives. But when I have a printer with dye sub ink, I do not know how much I will use film, men synes det er super godt tænkt.

My brain is running on the second week of options I should try, and I have gone all in, and bought all the knives, and have collected a lot of different materials I should try. The day before yesterday I got a lot of leather of a former colleague, så det er næste ting jeg skal prøve.

I have already optimized production of a blouse I make with several hours, because Cricut easily share my design and print it divided into 5 colors, så smart.

So it's an exciting new life. I am actually gone so far, I also have been Cricut dealer, både af maskinen og tilbehør.

Although I was not ready, and had not got my stuff on the web shop, I sold actually the first machine on Sunday. It has just arrived at very excited customer in Jutland. Hun har glædet sig i flere dage og skal straks i gang med at skære de kraftige materialer.

I hope that comes a lot of users, since I love to have someone to share the experience with. On my second cutting project I actually software help, by asking in a American Cricut Facebook group, så det kan være meget praktisk med kolleger.

I did not really our lovely cottage lacked nothing, but now there is a swimming pool for, og jeg må sige at det bare ser SÅ godt ud.

I usually well to mention our cottage Bugi Island, but now it is turned into a complete resort, so now it must surely be named Bugi Island Resort. I created a logo and printed bath mats, and writing, I started to draw some towels to press for “resort”.

The swimming pool was this summer's project (= All my husband's vacation), but nice is it really been, I am very impressed, both above the final result, and how diligently he has weather. I also think there was a bit more work in all the tree editing than he had first anticipated. Fortunately, the pool has already been used extensively this summer, and we have been visited by many children, og knægten har nu næsten lært at svømme.

I started the course project examining models and prices and found a freestanding pool from Spanish GRE. The negotiated several places, but for quite different prices. It is available in a version with and without the "support" side. When we had to dig the halfway during our terrace, we agreed to This model without "support" was probably the easiest model to work with. We chose size 7,3 m x 3,75 m and 132 cm in height (water height around 125 cm).

I took me to the website PoolOasen where we ended up being get a REALLY GOOD overall package price at pool, summer- and winter cover, groundcover vacuum cleaner, net, and chemicals. And very fortunate, is their stock in Skibby, conveniently close to Orø where our cottage is located. Our pool is denne model.

We didn't just get a really good price from Anja who has PoolOasen, but also super service and guidance throughout. We had continuous questions about everything, when we set up the pool. So I can highly recommend speaking with Anja before purchasing pool, both on advice and guidance, but also a good deal. She can be contacted at : info@pooloasen.dk eller tlf 2122-0885.

The first place I called said incidentally that one could easily put such a pool in one day, but it fits therefore not. There is some preliminary work in the leveling of the ground. I would recommend that you hire a Bobcat to processed, even if it is to be buried. The pool itself may well assemble and screw together in a day. and think, it takes over a day to fill it with water, it's nicely many liters of water

We got Orø local Peter Pedersen to dig the hole and align the bottom of. He also helped to place side stiffeners. It is as I said very important that the bottom is 100% horizontally when you put up the pool. We dropped to isolate the hard foam in the bottom, since it would take 'of water depth, men vi har lagt isoleringsplader rundt om poolens sider inden vi dækkede hullet til.

When the pool was collected my husband started to build the terrace upstairs. He had already started to break some of the existing terrace up, så poolen kunne komme ind under.

There were some constructions and calculations to get it all to fit around the pool. The construction is supported by plinth stones. There have been steps along the side, and at the end an extra terrace when we have evening there, but it also provides ample space for sun loungers and hammock. Now we just hope on a great summer next year, så vi kan sidde i vores liggestole og nyde solen og vandet.

Here you can see the plinth stones that support the construction

Flamingo plates all around + plinth stones

Finished and very new wooden boards

But now that it's dark at night, it now also very good with light in the pool (waterproof magnetic diode lamps we have set up on the inside of the pool).

Update:

One thing you MUST have is a pool vacuum cleaner, ours is christened Kevin and it even runs around and cleans the bottom, so the pool always looks good. Jeg tror ikke man kan have en pool uden.

Holding the pool has been incredibly easy, we drive with chlorine tablets where we leave it in the bag and only cut off the corners, then it lasts longer and we don't get too much chlorine in it. The pump is set to run 6 times a day. Vi har skiftet sand i pumpen ud med filterkugler for ikke at få sand i poolen.

After a couple of years we put on a heat pump that can raise the temperature, it is both good at the start and end of the season, but also makes the children stay longer in the water during the summer. The heat pump is also purchased from PoolOasen .

The filter pump uses approx 0.5 Kwh per hour and the heat pump uses approx 5 Kwh pr time. The new heat pumps are probably more efficient, vores er et par år gammel.

We also had for a couple of years an old roller coaster from a playground set up, but this year, it's peeled down, da den er meget smal.
Vi brugte stigen der kom med poolen til den.

This post is not advertising, I get no money from PoolOasen, but we were just happy with the good service so that's why I like to share .
