Bespoke Coat Rack- pleasing on the eye!

An Edinburgh householder, a big factor in the commercial real estate business, wanted a similar
rack to one he had spotted on the 3-dhooks website, but with a few variations.  In particular the rack was to go in an entry way and the door opened onto the place identified for the rack's installation.  We decided it would be best to rake the shelf and accommodate the maximum door opening without hard knocking up against the shelf.  Also three 16 cm simple 3-dhooks in the central section would be ample for his needs along with the iconic Younger design of 2 sideways projecting 23 cm medium bullnoser
 3-dhooks off the supporting brackets.  The wall mounted coat rack was to be painted white and I have to say that the final product is really most pleasing on the eye.  Another one up for Younger Enterprises!

Hooks, Hounds and Horses..

As luck would have it, sometimes in life a few events coincide to make one realise that there are bigger opportunities out there than one had imagined.  Very content to have sent a sparkling new set of a dozen hooks to a grand English country estate, the owner of which is dedicated to horses, then a few days later a desperate for space owner of a tack and riding business contacted us asking for our 3-dhooks.  She had looked long and hard but was unable to find what she wanted.  She tried various keyword search terms and finally 3-dhooks.com hoved into sight.  We had a good chat and agreed that our keywords could be expanded to cover various tack related terms to facilitate the discovery of the wonderful 3-dhook set.

This sport related market comes on top of a recent sale of the large 28 cm bullnoser hooks to a Scottish Estate where there was  need to tidy up the storage of their fishing rods and tackle.  Great idea!

Finally, I ask myself is it time to push the boat out and advertise in the Horse and Hound as well as an appropriate fishing related magazine.  Sounds good but I quake with trepidation at the cost thereof!
