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

  • Yesterday was Sunday, and sometimes on Sundays after I am done working I will go out into the shop to do a little more woodwork. It’s usually a time I can finalize the projects that I’ve been working on over the weekend that isn’t usually too intrusive to family life. I decided to take it…

  • This morning I got a very slow start. I took some Nyquil last night, so it was difficult to wake up. My mind feels foggy and I’ve been groggy for the first hour or two getting back into work for the week. That being said, I had a fantastic weekend. I took it easy on…

  • My beautiful, sweet, adorable toddler has given me her head cold so todays post might be a little shorter than normal. It might be a good weekend to try and knock out the ice fishing rod case. I haven’t come across any videos of anyone trying this so I’m interested to see what I come…

  • The next step in the ice fishing journey is to ice camp for the walleye night bite. Ice camping sounds like such a good time, but I’m unsure it’ll happen this season. We can always shoot for next year. I need a couple semi-expensive pieces of gear. I need a cot, and I’m debating getting…

  • It’s one of those midweek days where I’m not really sure what to write about. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with ice fishing this season, and it’s my first season on the ice. I’ve purchased a ton of gear, which has been really fun to investigate, and I’ve been using it well. To be honest, it’s…

  • No new changes to report on since yesterday. Our daughter is sick so I put her down for a nap after work yesterday. Full disclosure, I was looking to make some music and/or sounds yesterday afternoon but ended up playing Terraria instead. Some new filament came in the mail yesterday for the 3D printer so…

  • I ended up taking my Friday off to ice fish Lake St. Clair. I needed to return a buddy heater to the Bass Pro that was close by so I figured that Lake St. Clair would be a good look. When I got off work on Wednesday, I picked up a cheap set of antique…

  • I’ll most likely be dragging my feet getting another woodworking project started over the next few weeks. It’s still very cold, and there’s a ton of snow on the ground, so early morning woodworking is not the most appetizing of thoughts. Ice fishing on the other hand has completely taken control of my life. I…

  • The tessellated box is officially done. I completed the last step yesterday and I’ll start work on the YouTube video later today. I’ve attached some pictures. I’ve got a few ideas for the next one. I’d like to see if I can do a wood inlay for the tessellation. Instead of filling the female engraving…

  • I’m really dragging my feet finishing this tessellated box. I was very discouraged at my own craftsmanship in finishing those last couple of steps. Separating the lid from the base of the box, and installing the hinges was a clunky and cumbersome experience. The end result is okay, and it most definitely is a box.…
