Another way is to just use a false bottom. Pull that out and the lock is exposed. Just reach your hand back and release the lever lock with your fingers. That's the design Jeff Headley uses on his Win...

That's exactly what it looks like. The inlay does not catch on the back. My problem i think is in getting a proper burr. Any ideas on my other questions. To clarify one, does the burr's hook turn to t...
