simple jig for tacking

so im starting to design a simple frame jig for gluing my bamboo bike. i then intend to wrap the joints off the jig on a regular stand.
what are tha basic rules of thumb for setting up such a jig? It dosent have to be adjustable, id rather make it simple to build and re-build for every new frame.
anybody have any good designs? i mas looking at Brano Mereīs jig here:

but it still seems a little excessive... couldnīt I just use a piece of plywood to fix the bb, head tube, seat tube and rear axle dummy?
how about just a flat table?
