How to make it
- 01Pick the folder for your plywood thickness and cut one test slot to check the tab fit.
- 02Cut the base, tall back, low front, two sloped sides and the two dividers.
- 03Seat both dividers in the base, attach the sloped sides, then add the back and finish with the low front.
- 04Sand and lacquer, then load napkins in the wide center bay and toothpicks, straws and coasters in the side sections.
What fits in the three sections
Two full-depth dividers split the 280 mm length into a wide middle bay and two narrower side sections. In the photo the middle holds a stack of square paper napkins lying flat, the left section is packed with individually wrapped toothpicks, and the right one takes reusable metal straws standing at the back with a stack of round cork coasters in front. The back wall is 90 mm and the sides slope down to a 54 mm front, so napkins slide out easily.
Picking a thickness and cutting
A table caddy gets picked up and passed around, so 4 mm plywood is a good default. The 3 mm file is lighter and faster to cut; 5 or 6 mm gives a solid, heavy piece for a restaurant table. Every thickness has its own SVG and DXF with matching slots.
The 3 mm layout is 980 × 302 mm. For the 3 mm file, expect about 17 min 02 s on a 10 W diode, about 7 min 06 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 3 min 24 s on a 100 W CO2. A diode cuts 3 mm in one or two passes, thicker plywood in several. Assemble by setting the two dividers in the base, adding the sloped sides, then the back and the low front. Glue is optional.
Finishing and selling
Sand the sloped edges, then wipe on clear lacquer so spilled drinks bead up instead of soaking in. This caddy sells well to cafes, food trucks and garden party hosts; an engraved logo on the front turns it into a custom order.
Questions about this file
What napkin size fits the center bay?
Cocktail napkins and lunch napkins folded in four lie flat in the center bay, the widest of the three; check very large napkins against it first.
Why is the front lower than the back?
The 54 mm front and sloped sides make napkins easy to pull out and let guests see what is in each section.
Can I scale it for dinner napkins?
Enlarge the panels but keep every slot the same width as your plywood, otherwise the tabs will be loose; scaling the whole file uniformly does not do that.
Will it survive outdoor use?
Sealed with exterior lacquer or several coats of oil it handles patio dinners; do not leave it out in rain.
Can I add a cafe logo?
Yes; the file has cut lines only, so add the logo as an engraving on the front in your laser software.
