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

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…

I’ve been looking at all he innovative ways that people use 3D printers and a few things have stood out to me. Fusion 360 is just one of the programs that can be used to make 3 dimensional shapes. It has its strengths but I find it tedious to use. Paid Fusion costs $80 per…

I’ve been struggling lately to stay disciplined. I got quite drunk last weekend and have been recovering ever since. It has also been very cold in the mid west, so the prospect of woodworking out in my very cold barn has not been as fun to think about; it’s almost left my subconscious completely. It…

Over the weekend the 3D printer arrived in the mail and it is a very fun tool to use. I’ve just been getting a feel for it by printing off random objects that I’ve found on Printables. I’ve made a spool holder for the side of the machine, which is a good upgrade for it.…

The parts came in the mail to fix the broken mortising machine I bought a few weeks ago. I’m anticipating fixing it this weekend. We’ll see though, we’re taking the little one to see Santa and probably going to Christmas City on Saturday. It is also crazy cold out right now. It was 23 degrees…
