Sculptor making right old racket (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodin
'sculptor' is the definition.
(Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor)
'right old racket' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'racket' becomes 'din' (I've seen this before).
'r'+'o'+'din'='RODIN'
'making' is the link.
(Other definitions for rodin that I've seen before include "Sculptor (for the thinking man!)" , "Sculptor of The Thinker and The Kiss" , "Famous French figure" , "French manual worker" , "French form master" .)
