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 we got the presents wrapped for our toddlers 3rd Christmas tomorrow. We went grocery shopping and cleaned the entire house so we can have family over for Christmas. I finished the epoxy piece for my brother and it turned out great. I’m amazed at how easy these are to make. Run the carve on…

  • Yesterday I was in a bit of a funk, so I ended up going out to the woodshop after work to decompress. I was interested in continuing the epoxy work I’ve been developing. I’ve made quite a few epoxy works over the last few weeks and I figured I might as well make one that…

  • I made a cribbage board for my mom and stepdad for Christmas. It has engraved lettering that says “The Buddsons est. 2006” on it with other engraved embellishments. I filled these engravings with black epoxy. The really interesting thing about this cribbage board was that the holder for the pins was 3D printed. I made…

  • I had a pretty decent weekend of crafting and woodworking. After making those ornaments for my co workers, I ended up doing more epoxy work. It’s a fairly convenient way to get a decent result with the CNC without having to do all the complicated setup for wood on wood inlays. I made another ornament…

  • At the end of yesterdays blog post I was exploring ideas for a gift I could make for my dad for Christmas and his birthday. He is a difficult person to get gifts for; a person who needs for nothing. He loves tools though so I figured regifting my not-so-great desktop CNC might be fun…

  • Yesterday I finished the Christmas ornaments that I made for my co workers. They’re fun quippy Christmas gnomes with lettering underneath that have been filled with epoxy. I’ve attached a picture to this blog post. While making these I learned a little bit about my CNC. I was hoping to make these ornaments inlaid with…

  • I went through a bit of a literary phase a few weeks ago which prompted me to start writing these blog posts. It’s been just over a month and I’ve stayed disciplined to write these, which is good, but I haven’t stayed disciplined about continuing the habit of reading. It seems as though screens are…

  • Last weekend I ran the CNC out in the shop for a while, and while it was running I spent a bunch of time rearranging and reorganizing my shop. I was able to build a little container at the base of my chair seat carving table for all of my old text books. This has…

  • We’re in the heat of holiday season. Christmas and new years are just under two weeks away, so I scrambled last weekend to figure out what to make for my co workers and family. I like to make the people who I am closest to in life something nice for the holidays if I can…

  • Yesterday I started working on a 3D model in fusion that will hopefully help my video making immensely. My old camera rig lived on a tripod, and has been a work in progress for a very long time. I have a Canon M50, a huge rechargeable USB battery (200mm x 150mm x 30mm), a small…
