Of course it can be done without a Cellete jig, Bobs showing us how! The factory didn’t use a Cellete but they certainly had dedicated welding fixtures.

Yes... It is the fact that the fixtures are set.
whether bolted to a frame platform like Cellete
welded to a platform as the factory picture shows
or bonded to the concrete floor as i have done does not matter.
My fixtures were welded solid and bonded to the floor
they did not move.
I am retired Operating Engineer.
Caltrans ganted bids to the companies I worked for If I(specificly stated) was to do do the work (layout, surveying, and performance).
Caltrans actually told the company I worked for that if I was not present on the job that they would shut the job down.
They actually did this on highway 4 for a a few weeks/month because my employer wanted me to layout and correct some work on the Contra Costa side of the Benicia Bridge which was also a Caltrans project.
I believe doigthom was being sarcastic. Nice work.
yes. I understood and appreciated what doigtom said and thank you for your kind words.
