Complain about record of craftsman

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpenter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'craftsman' is the definition.
(I know that carpenter is a type of woodman)

'complain about record' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'carp' (carp can informally mean to complain or whinge).
'about record' becomes 'enter' (enter can mean to enter into a record. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'carp'+'enter'='CARPENTER'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carpenter that I've seen before include "singer called Karen" , "tradesman" , "What Jesus was" , "Find fault with record" , "Wood worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
