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

  • 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…

  • I survived the Christmas weekend with family. It went fairly well. I was able to make an ornament for my little sister, and everyone except for my dad got their presents. With the holiday season behind us, I can turn my attention towards improving my shop and methods once again. I’ve got some PTO coming…

  • 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…
