Ari, I wouldn't make any permanent frame spacers. I had many installed in
hives I bought from another beekeeper. They make the frame rests too
difficult to scrape. If you value your knuckles, don't waste your time and
money on spacers.
There is a hand spacer that I use, made by Maxant industries of Ayer,
Massachusetts. I believe it is also sold in most bee supply catalogs. Very
simple to use...no learning curve involved...for that helper you want. I
believe models are made for both 8 and 9 frame spacing. This is the tool
you want.
