Depends what you mean by rudimentary - DIY is cheap(ish) though there's some lathe work involved to make dummy axles, cones etc. The cheapest commercial jigs I've seen have been $1000+ (and shipping from the US). I believe Dave will make you one of his for ~£4k, but that's the high end - it's a stunning bit of perfectionist heavy duty construction.
I suspect I'm going to end up doing this one: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-simplest-bicycle-framebuilding-jig-I-could-com/ - nothing like as good as the real thing, but definitely better than nowt.
