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

There are still a few things I’d like to try out in the shop. The circle project being a long-standing one. I’d like to do a small test to see what it’s like to CNC inlay wood circles on top of themselves. I also need to finish my lidded humidor project. I need to acquire…

Last weekend I was able to finish a protype of a step stool using scrap wood and some cherry. This was quite a challenging little project, because the mechanism for which the steps extend was more complicated than what I normally build. The stool itself is a regular bar stool, with two little steps that…

I’ve been inspired in the past by the Samurai Carpenter. His woodworking is inspired by Japanese architecture. His work is very clean and soulful. He’s got a mortising machine that he uses for a lot of his joinery. It makes sense that a machine that makes square holes would be very useful in the shop.…

This weekend I’ve got a completely blank slate for the first time in a very long time. I have no projects on the horizon, and I’ve got nothing in the woodwork. To be honest I am thinking about going fishing, but it has been quite cold in the mornings – around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. If…

My brother asked me in January of this year to make him a huge 5.1 sound system. I am not really sure why I agreed to it, because the project was a little outside of my scope. The biggest sections of the project have been done, but there are some things still left to be…

As I was falling asleep last night I came across a really awesome video of someone who was using wood to print in the same way that a person might do a linocut. You carve the negative space out of an image and then ink the surface and it will print the image onto a…

Yesterday I was looking after my daughter, which sometimes can be sort of boring. She’s playing happily with her toys, but what do I do? I pulled out my phone and started playing around with Google’s Gemini AI. I discovered that it can program web apps for you extremely fast. So at first I had…

When I was living in DC with my girlfriend (now my wife) I craved woodworking like crazy. Before we moved to DC I worked in the scene shop for the university I was attending. We would work with sheet goods and 2x4s to build scenery for the plays that I would also have a hand…

I have a boys weekend in Chicago coming up this weekend, so I decided to make gifts for everyone. I spoke about it a few blog posts ago. Luckily, I already had a batch of whiskey smokers made up, so I was able to sand and finish those with no issues. I made a bottle…
