Fasten on wooden pin (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peg leg

'wooden pin' is the definition.
(pin can mean a leg)

'fasten on' is the wordplay.
'fasten' becomes 'peg' (to fasten with a peg).
'on' becomes 'leg' (cricket term, fielding positions).
'peg'+'leg'='PEG-LEG'

(Other definitions for peg leg that I've seen before include "Artificial limb (usually of wood)" , "Long John Silver, for instance" , "Informally, an artificial lower limb" , "(Person with) artificial limb" , "Artificial limb (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
