Its a wonderful job that mate.

I always called it blocked effect, but never have I seen one done to this degree. Its stunning.

Never knew it was called ashlar or voussoir but you learn something new everyday in this game.

voussoir Is the name of the stones either side of the key stone :)

If you matched up fair enough, it will also be interesting to see the original. I was taught about Ashlar that you had a thinner block then a thicker block and so on through out, the voussoirs are the stones either side of the key stones above a window or opening.

It's a tool that was made its a piece of steel 5 inches X 2 inches 5mm thick with a handle welded on.
It ain't pretty but works well
 
Completed the job today and think it'd turned out as good as it could considering how far out of plum the walls were
Few pics of the finished article
There's a couple of the original front that we had to try and match
