about

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

    Last weekend was very productive and lots of things got done, albeit lots of it was not related to woodworking. I cleaned out our entire garage, and made space for my car to fit again. It’s a tight fit, but I’m making much better use of my wall of bins and purged a ton of unused items from storage. I went to an ice fishing expo with my brother and a friend of his. I bought a new jigging combo, a jaw jacker and some baits. I’m really looking forward to getting back out on the ice hopefully next weekend. I need a better spud bar and I’m looking to upgrade the auger next.

    I finished 3D printing the camera housing and I’ve attached a few pictures to this post. Its very functional and I’ve already started filming another video for YouTube. The clasp on the top of the battery housing is a little loose, so I wrapped it with E tape to make sure the camera never slips out of there when tilted forward. The tripod is a little flimsy for the rig, but I think that’s okay for now. I ordered new batteries for the monitor, as the old ones don’t hold a charge anymore. The monitor is nice because the camera needs to be manually focused.

    I started filming the tessellated box CNC project with the new rig yesterday. I cut the v-carve 4 times into some birds eye maple that’s been sitting around for a long time. I filled the voids with epoxy yesterday and I’ll sand them down today when I get home from work. I’m thinking I’ll run the cut out carves with a quarter inch bit, cut the miters on the table saw and try to glue the four sides of the box together today. I’m paranoid about one thing though. The miter jig I’ve made for the table saw doesn’t play well with small parts. I’m tempted to cut some extra material onto the ends of each box side, that way when I cut the miter, it wont bind into the table saw blade and cause havoc. There will be enough meat on either end to stay on top of the jig. Small pieces tend to get into the throat of the jig and the saw sends them flying in chaotic directions.
