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

I had an idea as I was driving home from work yesterday to build a big butchers block for camp cooking. The vision is to have fold out legs on the bottom carved into the bottom so it lies flat. It’ll be a fold-out table butchers block cutting board. I figure that would be pretty…

I didn’t post yesterday because I felt like there wasn’t much to say. I haven’t been doing much woodworking lately and I’ve been feeling sort of stuck in life. I’d love to do my music work and woodworking full time, but I’m also a full time dad and employee, so I’m experiencing the struggle of…

I spent nearly the entire weekend ice fishing, and the ice rod case did its job very well. I was very happy to be able to transport my rods safely and jam pack a bunch of gear on top of them. Snapping my fragile jigging rods was never a worry and so that in itself…

I ran to the hardware store yesterday after work before returning home and picked up a small metal handle and four sets of stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers. I was on daddy duty yesterday afternoon so I tricked my preschooler into going outside. I kicked the soccer ball and she retrieved it, and in…

It might not look like much, but this is practically the final result of the ice rod case that I’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks. I poured the last two rounds of epoxy yesterday and it is ready for the last finalizing steps. I 3D printed the center spacer that helps…

I was on daddy duty yesterday so there is nothing new to report on. I’ve got to finalize the rod case this week, which entails a few tedious steps detailed in yesterdays blog post. Yesterday was 50 degrees and sunny so I took the little one out for a long walk and then played dragons…

We had a pretty awesome weekend. On Friday the family came out ice fishing and my wife caught a decent sized bluegill which was very exciting. My daughter almost had a fish but she didn’t know what to do when it came to reeling so we lost it. It’s okay though she had a ton…

I came into work this morning and immediately started tying flies. I completely spaced writing this blog post until I was around 2 hours in. I’m having a great time tying nymphs and random little flies to try out on the ice this weekend. It’s been a ton of good fun. I’m a little hungover,…

Yesterday, while my toddler was at daycare I was able to get some woodworking done. I dimensioned the cherry lumber for the ice rod case, completed the joinery and glued it up. It was fairly straightforward, and I’m definitely getting faster with these boxes. I opted for mitered corners, which made getting the dimensions of…
