See a wooden container as a place for money (4,3)

'a place for money' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'see a wooden container' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'a wooden' becomes 'ash' (made of ash).
'container' becomes 'box' (box is a kind of container).
'c'+'ash'+'box'='CASH-BOX'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
