Uncle Sam was pretty wobbly especially on a windy day. He rode on 3 casters.
The foot casters were replaced with a truntable type mechanism. Uncle Sam got a wooden base. Shoes are no longer required for storage as the new base allows him to stand on his own.
The box/stand got a lazy susan receiving base. The two pieces are attached with a pin and 4 lock nuts for stability.
