Craftsperson who does not stand aloof from company? (6)
I believe the answer is:
joiner
'craftsperson' is the definition.
(I know that joiner is a type of woodworker)
'does not stand aloof from company?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joiner that I've seen before include "Person who makes furniture and other woodwork" , "Person who makes finished woodwork" , "Wood worker" , "always ready to sign up?" , "One eager to belong; woodworker" .)
