Andy Murray, hang it all, needs better advice and hooks


The Australian Tennis open final against smooth Roger was, sad to say, all too predictable. Murray's service game was second rate. The number of times the ball was
served into the net was depressing. Why oh why does he not do something about it I ask myself? I honestly think it is down to poor coaching. Now if I were in charge, I would ensure that Andy gets the ball over the net every time he serves, no matter how hard he
hits it. How? Well, simple, in practice raise the net two or three inches so that he really has an obstacle to overcome. Once he gets into matches he will be used to serving
into the box over a high net, ergo in a match with a lower net it should be a doddle. This coaching advice comes free from the creator of great ideas in the hooks and hanging department at www.3-dhooks.com, which incidentally serves up the greatest hooks, coat hooks and hanging devices that any tennis player should never do without.

Viscissitudes of life! No view for a wandering coatrack.


Business has it's ups and downs. We normally rely on the trusty service provided by
Parcelforce to deliver in a timely manner to our customers up and down the breadth of the land. However, we just had a 'major' shock. A customer tapped in the wrong house number for the delivery, hitting a 4 instead of a 3. The package, a hefty item, was to our surprise, when alerted of a so far missing delivery, marked down in the track and trace facility as being "Refused by Addressee". Goodness me, horror of horrors. A week
later the forlorn package was returned to us at no cost ( that was the one positive of this event). One has to ask, why on earth with its data base they could not put two and two together and deliver across the road instead of going to the entire palaver of returning the perishing package to Scotland from down south. Anyhow, mindful of the hard times we volunteered to swallow the extra mailing and the customer was very grateful. Coat rack enjoyed the round trip but was deprived of a decent view as most traveling was done at night, not to mention the restriction of some some heavy packaging!

Replicate that Coat Rack only in Pine with bronze hooks


A busy lady in Surrey called to say she needed a new rack just like on on the website
of 3-dhooks.com. In fact the one on the page http://www.3-dhooks.com/coatracks.htm bottom right was just fine, however she preferred a waxed pine finish rather than white
gloss. Bingo a couple of days later, the job is done and here is the result with which
I trust she will be most pleased. Decent coat hooks will help create a much more useful item for storage and surely Younger's 3-dhooks are just the job! Unique, versatile, functional and stylish. What a winning line up from the home of 3-dhooks.

Help! Too much business...


My goodness, the snow has barely melted and customers are knocking our door down. "I
want a new, bespoke coat rack with your amazing hooks!" "I like the one on your website, the story goes, coat rack page down at the bottom with a glove compartment. Another farmer has just been sent his with 5 of our giant 28 cm Bullnoser Hooks on an oak back. That will take a great deal of stuff to fill up all the space. He can even pop his wellies on top or as I suggested store his wine there is he likes. Soon may have to employ someone to help, but with all those rules, regulations, costs and pension funds and holidays and maternity leave and well, you get the picture. Think I will stay a one man band and let my chisel do the talking!

Coat Hooks Excellent Service in time for Xmas


A customer in a real hurry for his hooks was faced with the Xmas rush
and slow postal deliver due to the weather ( must be Global Warming don't
you think!). How could we overcome the problems facing us on the one hand
and the customer's needs for prompt delivery. Well, we found a way thanks
to the generous offer of Mr Norman Motion who had come from Edinburgh to
service our pianos. He very kindly took the package off our hands and popped
the goods across to their destination within the very day the order was received.
Kind comment from the customer came in shortly afterwards...

What great service! Personal delivery by someone coming our way, rather than
risk the Christmas post.

Popular Coat Hooks




I have to say my customers are a smart 'bunch'. They select just the type of hooks that I would select. Only trouble is, stocks keep running low and so we have to order in
advance so as not to be caught short of popular lines. In our business, to be economic,
one has to buy from the usual candidates...namely India and China. The time to receive the goods varies enormously. Sometimes for example in India when the outside temperature
soars to over 40 degrees, the producers have to cope with the extra heat from their work.
My goodness it must be difficult. To think that the coat hooks have been wrought into existence under such trying circumstances, makes one think! Our Chinese suppliers have problems and issues of their own to cope with, but we persevere. How infinitely preferable it would be to make the goods in the UK. This is not my doing but the culmination of economic evolution over the decades. Let's hope for a better balance to
economic activity in the years ahead. So far I don't see much sign of that, but on the contrary every sign of tension and mounting problems. Just a minute, this is a coat hook blog, not an examination of navels! Sorry. Lets see which hooks we have recently sent out...
