[QUOTE="jhuggett, post: 1218, member: 2"] The problem comes in with heat. When the pipe is hot the wood is expanded so the shank and stem fit will be much tighter that when it's cool. Start wiggling it around to much when it's tight and you can either break it or wear down the fit so when it cools it becomes too loose. [/QUOTE]
