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 have a nasty habit of seeing what I can get away with when I’m woodworking. It usually happens when I’m trying to save time. Can I do it this way, save some time but run the risk of messing the whole thing up? If I do take the risk, sometimes it works out and…

This week I’ve been subconsciously thinking about how to put my woodworking out there. I’ve made quite a few videos in many different styles, but I’ve never been able to land on anything solid. A few blog posts ago I stated what I think a good video is made of. It’s visually interesting, has a…

It brings me a great deal of happiness to make woodworking projects for friends and family. The weekend after next I’ve got a boys weekend celebrating the wedding of one of my best friends. We’re going to Chicago to watch Michigan beat Northwestern at Wrigley Field. Strange because Wrigley is a baseball field. I’m looking…

I’ve always wanted to make money with woodworking. I’ve made a few huge projects and have assembled a valid portfolio, but I am far from breaking even on all of my investments. I believe I am still a few thousand in the red. Having a work shop is well worth it though and I wouldn’t…

I’ve been on and off with filming my projects for the last 3 to 4 years. I have gone through a few phases of style and presentation, but I have not landed on anything consistent. I’m talking about video that is made specifically for YouTube. Longer format video is tricky, because you’ve got to keep…

Yesterday I had a little extra time and so I ended up finishing my new spoil board. It was one of those rare instances where everything came together really nicely and no major mistakes were made. The new spoil board is 21.5″ by 21.5″ which is quite a bit smaller than the 32″ by 32″…

The barn in which I do my woodwork is tattered and old. It is often a home for squirrels, and bugs. It has been a nesting place for birds that open holes in the side that have grown in size. Since moving into our house in 2022, my attention towards the barn has not been…

Last year I built a small shave horse. I sort of made my own design. It is small, and sturdy but has quite a few limitations. It does the job but not perfectly and I suppose that is okay. I made it to take up less floor space than a larger one because I work…

Seems like a good title for a woodworking blog page. “The Spoil Board”. Anyway I am currently working to increase the efficiency of my CNC. I flattened it yesterday for the first time since I got the machine. It had a mosaic of past carves outlined into it. I’m working to make a spoil board…

I’ve been racking my brain to figure out a fun innovative way to utilize my CNC machine. It is much easier said than done. I’m working on a humidor that is a small mahogany lidded box for my cigars, but then inlaying that box into a larger piece of wood and then shaping that larger…
