I love to prune. This year had the added benefit of sharp pruning tools. I didn’t buy new tools, just sharpened the ones I had. The wet stone I bought years ago finally got some use. And I attempted grafting the first time outside of a class. We’ll see if the grafts take. I could put in some how-to, but if you want to prune go to a pruning demonstration. It will be far more beneficial than anything I could write.  As for the sharping and grafting, I watched online videos. Even thought I do remember learning it in school, I don’t actually remember the details.

The only downside is all the pruning and grafting was none of it was on my own property.
