After school I will get shelf (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sill

'shelf' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'after school i will' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'school' becomes 's'.
'i will' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this before).
's' next to 'ill' is 'SILL'.

'get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sill that I've seen before include "Slab at foot of window" , "Horizontal timber forming the bottom of a framework" , "Horizontal intrusion of igneous rock between sedimentaries, as in much of Hadrian's Wall" , "Window edge" , "Mass of rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
