oh..June..well.. it's kind of easy.. it does take a bunch of time for the grafts to really take hold.. the outer bark is cut away.. and the other living limb is treated the same.. then they are bound together and wrapped.. it's called approach grafting..
most plants can be used.. here's a link to a more elaborate fence than I was starting..

alot of the trees he did were sycamores.. most plants will allow this with plants of the same type
here's a clip of them doing mangos. to get fruit from one to grow on the root of another.. he says they do avacados that way also.... you see these sold here as lucky bamboo.. [ which isn't really bamboo...] but they are grown together in designs from many roots..

they also do other fruit trees that way.. it's easier than a regular graft as they both get nourishment untill the graft has taken.. then it's slowly weaned from one to another.. in the tree circus all the roots are often kept active. his shapes are some times grafts done on the same plant.. back and forth between limbs...
it's easy.. give some a try..
