c6ae's method does the same thing as the offset dowels; while he may have done this a number of times so that it's second nature to him, for most of us the offset dowels are much easier. The last Lakewood I aligned needed the .014 offset dowels, although this was on a Genesis block, which may be further off than the originals.
Just my 2 cents worth...
