This puzzle's unclued central Across entry names the plier of a trade whose tools are arrayed around the border in the projecting squares. Entries containing letters from those "Tools" squares are clued separately and in no special order; their proper places may be deduced with the help of the normal Acrosses and Downs. Eight answers are capitalized.
The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
