Coat Racks on the move...


Today, my birthday, was to be the hand-over day for the latest coat racks. To minimise the cost, the purchaser agreed to visit the home of 3-dhooks and collect his booty. An
early phone call however changed the handover. Instead it has been agreed to meet at the
B&Q car park in Dundee. Now wouldn't it be great if B&Q could have a look see at the magnificent coat rack sporting the greatest coat hooks available on earth. These hooks are definitely NOT AVAILABLE at B&Q, not no-how! It is on the other hand a pleasure to know that a customer, who rejected the idea of buying the run of the mill hooks available at B&Q, will be collecting a very smart new rack on their premises. I will probably pop in for a few screws just to keep an eye on their tired stock of hardware!
Cheers!

Two more coat racks for local Scottish customer


Evidentally we are still very much in the grips of winter as customers are still thinking about their hanging problems and storage solutions. An Edzell customer has finished an major change to his residence and thought about hooks and a coat rack for the new specially dedicated coat hall for which he now has ample space. We asked how he came across 3-dhooks and he said his first thought was a visit to B&Q. He rapidly shed that idea, which is 'no idea' at all and checked out on the internet under his local search function to see what might pop up. Younger Enterprises has been busy assuring a good ranking in the local search engines for Scotland and sure enough he found us promptly. These racks were to be quite large at six foot in length. One on top for the
grown ups and guests, and one under for the three children. Well, here's what we came up with and long may they serve their purpose in the rural countryside of Angus.

Out of ice - a coat rack is born....


Let's face it, life in Scotland is a wee bit grim these harsh and pesky days of winter. In itself that does not negate any warm feelings of glowing satisfaction when yet another order for a new, bespoke coat rack rolls in for prompt execution. Stepping gingerly over the snow and ice, I negotiate my way to the sub arctic temperatures of the carpentry room at the back of the garage ( which I might add stores approximately 15 tons of coat hooks). I unlock the door and behold my trusty right hand man Paul Edwards has transformed the space and got rid of all the excess clutter such as dismantled wardrobes & etc. My heart gladdens when I see the superb power tools lately purchased made by FESTOOL, a truly fabulous German make that underscores their brilliance at such
things. In no time the wood is sized, cut, shaped and put together all perfectly squared up. Now the sticky, tricky part has to be overcome. In these frigid conditions how quickly will the stain and varnish harden off? Well, easily done if you remove the new rack to the boiler house and take advantage of the heat from our old boiler. Job done and another satisfied customer in Sterling will have a rack to be proud of for ever more. Service rendered, weather notwithstanding!

Coat Racks for a castle


The winter chill seemed to have put a crimp on the spending habits of the nation until
we were greeted by an order for the prompt delivery of two coat racks for a distraught
mother. Evidently her accommodation was substantial, her needs were overwhelming and most of their coats were on the floor. A quick fix was required and we stepped up to the plate and within a few days the racks were on their way. 'Fabulous' was her response to the service from YOUNGER ENTERPRISES! One rack incorporated 7 medium sized 23 cm bullnoser coat hooks and the other 7 16 cm simple coat hooks. All done and dusted and
hopefully a permanent fixture in a Kincardineshire castle for ever more!

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.
