Thats a hard one. Usually a frame jig is build on a level steel table thats leveled & bolted to the floor & does not rotate.
They are very secure & are built so they will not move during the frame cooling process.Don Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).

I'm betting you're looking for a rotisserie to rotate a frame or body. I improvised a frame rotisserie from an engine stand and an engine hoist. There are some photos on this website:

You can use two engine stands, but because the rotating axis of an engine stand points up several degrees, some modifications are necessary.
If you want to build a rotating frame jig, you're really in for some heavy duty construction.Jack
