I tried one last year, did a chip bud in June from a this-years shoot I saw a dormant bud on by the base of a leaf already. I forced it in two weeks by cutting most of the top of the stock and bending over; the graft proceeded to put on about 3' of new growth last year. I didn't remove the bent-over shoot until the plant was dormant, it wasn't growing much after I bent it over. Overall I was pretty impressed, it did a lot better than I had expected.

Yes, I have done it, it works. Don't expect much growth until the following
year. My attempts of late summer budding of buds from current years growth
failed.
