How do you lock the Jackstone

I followed the tips to do the Jackstone at http://anools-origami.tripod.com/jackston.htm and
I think I have figured out how to obtain the rest of the flaps to form the remaining pyramids that are not explained there.

Basically I squashed the remaining flaps, petal folded them, then stretched the long tips and I was left with:

So I guess everything that is needed to form the remaining pyramids is there. The only problem is that I don't see a mechanism for the flaps to lock and the instructions clearly say it does not use glue.

So could someone please tell me if what I did to obtain the remaining flaps is corect and if so, how do I lock these?

I understand, it is hard to leave the model without finishing, without hitting its point...

This sentence does not make much sense to me.

Anyway I got some hints already and the model locks perfectly WITHOUT glue
