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

    • Ice Rod Case is Almost Done

      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…

    • Yay for the Weekend

      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,…

    • Ice Rod Case is Coming Together

      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…

    • Ice Jig Fly Tying

      Yesterday I got a wild hair and investigated the tying of flies for fishing. This is a lure crafting method that uses a vise, a hook, some thread and other materials to tie lures that look like flies and other small insects that hopefully will attract a fish. I never thought I’d be interested in…

    • New Ice Rod Holder Design

      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…

    • Still Sick

      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…

    • Ice Rod Case Planning

      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…

    • Scheming on Camping

      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…

    • Ice Rod Case

      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…

    • Musical Tidings

      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…
