I recently moved into an older house, built in the late 1920s. As I've started working my way through repairs and restorations, finding helpful resources on how to repair glass knobs that have come loose in their shank has been somewhere between difficult and impossible. On the decidedly less-helpful side are articles like this one, from This Old House, which definitively claim that the problem is unfixable. Others, like the DIY StackExchange, have had more helpful suggestions. But most of the discussion has been around how to fix the immediate problem, and not what causes it to occur, or why a given fix is likely to work or fail over time.

This was inspired by Nicholas Zakas's and George Stocker's posts on the same topic.

So this is a little weird... It's like, "Chris, you're a data scientist! You do math and programming and stuff. Why are you talking about custards?" But it's because I love baking, and am proud of the stuff I make. So I'm going to start posting recipes that I like.
