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’m going to get personal for a second. This week has been heavy for my friends and family. My wife lost her biological mom last night, which was awful. Grandma June left this world somewhat comfortably in the hospital shortly after experiencing a collapsed lung. The doctors gave her morphine, which helped. Her passing was…

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to progress the tessellated box project. It should be fairly straightforward from here though and I’ll post pictures and a link to the video once it’s completed. I just need to go slow and take my time with the miters, making sure that they’re perfect. the whole…

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…

I’ve definitely been in a funk this week. Getting back to work from a short vacation last week has me feeling down. It was way worse yesterday, and I’m hoping that next week will be better. You can tell by the length of a blog post how much I’m feeling like taking on the weight…

I’ve been doing a lot of 3D printing this week, trying to get the camera chassis finished. I took a huge step forward two days ago when the biggest print in the project was successful. Now it’s a matter of getting the hardware from the hardware store, and finishing the last prints. I tried printing…

I’ve started to use the glue/adhesive that came with my 3D printer. It’s a strange glue because it looks like a liquid deodorant stick. It’s got a fabric applicator and is a clear liquid. You rub the tube on the bed of the 3D printer and it helps keep the first layer stuck to the…

In yesterdays blog post, I mentioned that I had trouble 3D printing last week because my wife was sick and the noise from the printer is quite bothersome. Well I was able to get some printing done early in the week. I ended up finishing the entire kitchen junk drawer full of gridfinity containers. There…

It’s the new year and 2026 should be a good one. None of my plans are changing, but my wife is going back to school to get certified to teach middle school in Michigan, and will hopefully start in the fall of this year. That’ll be great for her, and she should have a long…

So yesterday I attempted printing the housing for the m50 camera I’ve been talking about for a few weeks and it failed about 4 hours into the print. I definitely need to break the model down into smaller, more digestible chunks for the 3D printer to handle. I’ll look at splitting the section for the…
