You might try Googling Toli's pattern for a loom. There's also a link from the weavershand website. My partner made one for me for Christmas last year. It works very well, it's the only thing I've used since I received it. It's good for continuous warping. I'm debating trying warp weighting on it, I don't think it would be all that difficult to adapt, and I don't think the adaptations need to be permanent. Of course, if you're not a carpenter, or don't know one who will help, then you're out of luck.

Hello,
I'm looking at getting a loom for my tablet weaving projects. Cost
is an issue, as is space; I just don't have the room to leave a five
foot board lying around the house with a project set up. Many sites
say that an inkle loom can be used for tablet weaving, though I can
tell from the pictures that I need to be careful about the spacing of
the pegs. Build up of tension looks like it could be an issue,
too. Could the smaller rigid heddle looms be used, as well? Has
anyone used a loom and are there any in particular that work very
well--or not?
I'm a novice weaver, looking mostly at making trim and belts for
tribal belly dance costuming--for now.
Thanks!
Lisa
