always wanted to graft trees mainly for the achievment , but always failed, but bought a pair of grafting pliers now , not easy to use but with a bit of practice on a hazelnut shoot about 30 attemps can now do a decent job of practice graft's , here is some pics if they loaded
update at least the pics loaded
this was the omega cutter which makes a mechanical joint , there are two other cutters which came with the pliers
what I found was that , you must have the wood at 90deg to the pliers when happy with that I rolled the wood about 2 or 3 degrees toward the handles of the pliers and then press hard , to get a central cut, then force the handles open to extract the wood
hope this makes sense , well I can understand it
it can be done but is not easy , I'm sure their not the best pliers but they were cheap
