lee valley tools (they're across canada - idk if they're in the states) has a 'rooter pot' that makes it easy.... you just put it on the branch you want to clone, keep it wet, and voila! a couple weeks later the pot fills with roots and you cut it just below the pot:

(you probably want to get permission from whoever's garden/bush/tree it is first)
for grafting they have this great tool:

the cut shape is a male and female so it reduces the messing around trying to match up grooves.
i find lee valley kind of $$$$ so we only buy specialty items for our real garden from them (there is no way we could afford to put a lot of their stuff in our *other* garden) but they have LOTS of great stuff that my professional landscaper friends like to drool about.
