118 - Method for cutting angled outer arch bricks.
This wasn't quite an exact science like the dome bricks using the wetsaw jig.
I used shims to angle the brick and kept cutting until I had the correct angle.
I only had 6 or 7 of these to cut.

Dome portion is complete.
Time to move onto the vent.

111 - Keystone slot, from above.
Hard to believe this is all that's left to complete the dome.

109 - Custom keystone.
I now used the compass used to transfer all the points of keystone shape from to 2 clamped half bricks that will become actual keystones.

I've transferred all compass points of the keystone shape to the scrap plywood.

105 - Wetsaw jig.
The high bevel cut was a later-higher chain.
I removed the angle fence and now held the bricks in place along each line by hand for the correct angle.
One cut is referenced off the front line, the next cut referenced off the back line.
This half brick shows a 2nd cut example referenced off the front line.
