Noah B Woodworks

A woodworking page for the free time foot soldier

Hello there! My name is Noah Budd and I am a woodworker from southeast Michigan. I hail from a small set of towns in the Upper Peninsula called Houghton/Hancock. I lived there for 24 of my 31 years, and graduated from Michigan Tech in 2019 in audio production.

In my free time I am a dad first and hobbyist second. I make music, read books, smoke pipes, and kayak fish. I am a broadcast engineer in my professional life, working an early morning 3:30 – 11:30 am shift. The early bird has most definitely gotten a worm or two.

Thanks for stopping by my site and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @noahbwoodworks or via the email found on the contact page

There are still a few things I’d like to try out in the shop. The circle project being a long-standing one. I’d like to do a small test to see what it’s like to CNC inlay wood circles on top of themselves. I also need to finish my lidded humidor project. I need to acquire more mahogany for that project, which entails a trip to Rockler. Going to Rockler is risky business.

I would also like to create a Jig for cutting miters. I can do them on the table saw now that I’ve removed the stabilizing clamps from the motor. I can do all sorts of angled cuts now, but I’d like to make a miter sled for the table top before I go too crazy. It would be nice to have a sled, and I’m honestly unsure why I haven’t built one yet.

So in order of importance: Miter sled, lidded humidor, circles on circles. I’m very excited that I can make angled cuts on the table saw now. I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to my woodworking. Last weekend I was able to make a myriad of 5 degree cuts to accomplish that fold out stool from my last blog post. I’m interested to see what that holds for my future.

I’ve been thinking about puzzle boxes as well. The artisan crafted puzzle chests and boxes are so interesting to me. As a person who fidgets, I’ve always loved hand held puzzles. Recently, the craft of actually making the puzzles has caught my eye. It would be cool to make something like that for my daughter, so she can hide her treasures in a place we won’t ever look.
