About the wiggle shuttle - how do you use that. Moving it more to the right and left alternately so the "waves" move across. It looks interesting.
About looms - for smaller RHL there are wow a few makers, but at 80 cm there isn't much left to choose from. If the plastic knob is the main grievance with the loom you could try the handi handles

@FanCityKnits@troet.cafe yup, I typically move the shuttle a little bit to the left or right each beat (rather than back and forth). It seems to give more defined waves that way. Need to not agitate when washing though - the waves (unless a little felted) can fall out of the fabric quite easily. Thanks! I did get the handi handles with the first loom hoping they would help with arthritis pain, but the turning isn’t the problem - it’s that darned clip mechanism. It needs so much force to operate. Worse, the position on the little rigid heddle is off by a few mm so that a flat screwdriver is needed to force the clippy bit past its metal post.
