My t. bridgesii monstrosa upsidedown grafting, succees!!

Hello!
I have posted here some treads about my graftings and so on but mostly have failed, still.. I have learned some things about crafting cactis.
So now I have done it. Top of the t. bridgesii monstrosa doesn't succees for grafting but bottom was going ok.
I used only knife and rubberband for this. I started this when plants was dormant at january and forgot whole grafted plant until at beginning of march this year I noticed that the bottom from TBM cactus have started to make new grown.
There is picture about one and half weeks after I noticed the pup is coming from aerole:

This picture was taken between 3-4weeks after first:

I don't know what species of cactus is stock here, I have now done two grafts with san pedro stock after I noticed this was success! I will give photos after I'm sure they are growing etc..
Speed of growing are kinda rapid when compairing my other TBM cactus plants with their own roots.
Now i'm able to grow fast new cuttings. I will write more about my san pedro stock grafts after they have started to show somekind of growing. But I can confirm that you can really split TBM to half and make two crafted cactus. Atleast this one. I cut the roots away and just push the bottom of TBM to this unkown stock with rubberband and when spring comes and growing starts this baby starts to grow. 
Maybe san pedro stock grafts starts growing rapidty than this one? Anyone have any idea what stock this can be in my pictures? Atleast this grows very fast when I compairing this to my non-grafted specimens of TBM plants.
Say your comments please

I'm not sure what the stock is but you did well to keep trying when previous attempts failed. Great work and I hope your future grafts are also a success.

Hi.
Some time have passed and I have more pictures to share. I have succees with craftings to san pedro stocks too. I used superglue to san pedro stocks.
First is update picture. Nice growing speed

There are one TBM cactus splited to half and crafted to two san pedro stocks. So I have make two growing TBM cactus from one with crafting and bottom part have started to make new grow. I buried the san pedro stocks kinda deep if these compaired to my first craft to unidentified cactus.

I maybe keep updating the growing speed of these crafted TBM:s later if you guys are interested to see hows it going

Sure!
I just noticed that I have something to compair the growing speed. One of my TBM specimen have started to make new grow too. So I can compair growing with pictures and share them to you.
Spring and coming summer are nice time with cactus collection, When I look my collection, I find something new and interesting things almost every day from my cactis 
Growing season have started! Now I can share pictures of grafted TBM cactus to specimen with own roots. And compairing the growing speed with shared pictures. 
There are pics from TBM cactus with own roots.

New pup coming from soil. (:

Hello. I just take picture from my graft and its growing good at the moment. Here is picture from it. Growing speed seems to be more rapid when graft got more size. After one month this graft have gained good growing speed. This is good way to get fast cuttings from monstrosa bridgesii. 
This is two months after I have noticed the grow from graft. Growing speed is very agressive when compairing this for TBM cactus with own roots.
¨
What you guys think about that?

I have done grafts to san pedro stocks as well. That one is just my first experiment and succees with it. 
What's wrong with using different species of columnars?
