Turner Interview: Andy Hoyt

[Jim Dunn]

I'm gonna reserve comment till the end! Seeing the pic of that lovely family has me thinking "this aint Andy I know from here"

[Bob Noles]

Well Andy...... I must say that you are one interesting fella for sure and it is great to get to know even more about you. You appear to have a life to be envyed.

I may very well be slow as accused ( ), but I will give a quick and well deserved congrats to a fine woodworker and friend.

Thanks for sharing your personal side with us.

[Travis Stinson]

Andy, nice to get to know you a little better, you're definitely one of the good guys. I'd love to be able to get up your way and spend a few days slinging curls with you.
OK, that's enough, that filter wasn't worth THAT much!

[Mike Ramsey]

Pleased to meet you Mr. Hoyt! Enjoyed peaking into your life.
You have a beautiful family, great looking shop, white iron &
all the lobster u-can-eat, what more could a man ask for....

[Mark Cothren]

what more could a man ask for....

A little "mustard" would do him good........

[Karl Laustrup]

Mr. Hoyt. It is indeed a pleasure to make your aquaintance.

As the LOML has been wanting to visit the upper right corner, I may have a real good excuse to venture further east during our next journey to Troy, NY.

Of course that's if we can afford anything after the house gets built.

Mr. Hoyt, pleasure to meet you and learn a little bit about that complex personality that lives inside that body You have a beautiful property Andy, lots of pride of ownership and quite a nice shop as well, however, I am most impressed with you business. I had no idea what you did. I guess I thought you just wandered around in the woods looking for things to put on the lathe Absolutely awesome model work Andy. I enjoyed seeing some of your projects and the some of the process. Now step away from the lathe for a bit, fix the guestbook and I will sign it!
Mark, awesome interview!

[Andy Hoyt]

I must admit that this whole thing is a bit embarassing while also being a nice chance to show my other side. And I'm really looking forward to Mark's next victim.

Some replies are in order, so here goes:

Mark - one would think that a professional propellor head like you would know to keep your mailbox quota unreached.

Cecil - Texas? What state is that in?

Keith - That's the magic of Photoshop!

Bernie - It has been and will continue to be my pleasure and honor to mislead you every step of the way.

Glenn - You're on buddy!

Chris - My thoughts exactly!

Big Mike - What little I know has been learned by doing it wrong first - over and over and over.

Dick - Thanks! Unfortunately, I forgot to get permission from you know who before I sent Mark the family photo. I am IN the doghouse.

John M. - A real What? Oops, let's not go there.

Stu - Glad to be in the club. Trouble is, I'm looking forward to it becoming less exclusive!

John H. - Aint so green right now. It's all brown - but it should be white!

Dennis - Just wait. In a few more years that'll change.

Ken - I want Salmon Bonker Tee Shirt.

Jim - ppffffttt!

Bob - Trust me, there's one thing about me you don't want to envy - my credit card balance.

Travis - You're welcome anytime. That goes for everyone. Just leave your mustard thingies at home.

Mike - Money!

Mark - Like MAYO on my sammitches. Hold the mustard.

Karl - Come ahead. But methinks that new house is gonna keep yuo busy for a long time.

Corey - Thanks! I've actually decided not to reopen the guestbook. It got inundated by postings about porn sites and was therefore not too good for the business image. But I snagged a bunch a urls!

Curt - You snuck in while writing this - Thanks. Yeah I think this place is gonna take a while to trash. Needs a paint job and I am NOT looking forward to that.

[Curt Fuller]

Very nice to meet you Andy! I enjoyed the links to your business site and to the maineturners site. You have a great looking family and if you're still looking for greener grass, you're going to have a hard time beating that place you call home now. What a shop too! I chuckled all while reading the interview as I do with most of your posts. You seem like a very interesting and eclectic guy.

[Jim Becker]

I really do think you need to add a Stubby to your lathe collection... You can even paint it ivory if you feel you need to...it worked for Vessery! Seriously, I'm glad to learn so much more about you...and the family look grand...as does the house and grounds. Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

[Jim Dunn]

ppfffftt right backa at ya. I had my dinner and thought I'd write a little now, as on an empty stomach I don't think I could have.

Andy first and foremost your family is beautiful. May you and your wife be blessed with many more years.

Secondly your talent is awsome.

3rd I'm a little jealous of the wonderful piece of country you and your better half call home.

Lastly, by looking at your pic with you daughter and wife----------------you cleanup better than I thought you would.

Thanks for the kind responses to my newbie posts.

Jim
