How to make it
- 01Open the file for your plywood thickness and cut a trial slot on scrap.
- 02Cut the base, back, low front, two sloped sides, the long divider and the two cross dividers of different heights.
- 03Set the long divider, then the lower cross divider at the front of the side column and the taller one behind it, and close with the walls.
- 04Sand, lacquer, lay napkins flat in the big bay and fill the three tiers with straws, toothpicks and coasters.
Big napkins on the left, small things on steps
A full-depth divider sets off a large bay that takes up most of the 300 mm length. In the photo it holds a stack of large square lunch napkins lying flat. To the right is a narrow column split by two cross dividers of different heights, so the tiers climb toward the back: metal straws at the top, wrapped toothpicks in the middle, and round cork coasters in the lowest front tier. The back is 90 mm, the front 54 mm.
If you use big napkins and want them lying flat rather than standing, this layout gives them the most room of any caddy in the set. The stepped column keeps the small items visible over each other's tops.
Cutting and fitting the tiers
Its 3 mm layout measures 1020 × 302 mm. For the 3 mm file the estimate is about 18 min 11 s on a 10 W diode, about 7 min 35 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 3 min 38 s on a 100 W CO2. Thicker plywood means several passes on a diode. Keep the two cross dividers apart after cutting; the taller one belongs at the back.
Put the long divider in the base, add the low cross divider at the front of the side column and the taller one behind it, then fit the sloped sides, back and front. Glue is optional. Sand the stepped edges and seal with clear lacquer.
Who it suits as a gift
This is a good kitchen table caddy for families who eat in the kitchen every day. For a gift, include a pack of lunch napkins and a set of steel straws.
Questions about this file
Do large lunch napkins fit flat?
Yes; the main bay is the full 200 mm deep and about 200 mm wide, enough for folded lunch napkins lying flat.
What goes in the three small tiers?
Each tier is about 93 mm wide, good for straws, wrapped toothpicks, round coasters up to that size, or sugar sticks.
Can I mirror it so the tiers are on the left?
Yes, mirror all parts in your laser software before cutting; the joints work the same way.
Can I scale it up for dinner napkins?
Resize the panels and then reset every slot to your plywood thickness; scaling the slots with the outline would make the joints loose.
Is MDF a good alternative?
MDF cuts cleanly and paints well, but it must be sealed, especially the base, since spills soak into raw MDF.
