Susieq that method is straight up grafting, approach grafts are a bit easier, you keep the donor plant in it's pot and set up the graft with the pot hanging on the tree you are grafting to. Shimpaku take to San Jose very well, not sure about how the shimps take to Fla though. Something to advance your abilities of creation, many "finished" bonsai have grarted branches on them, just a suggestion. If you are anywhere near Graydon I think he does a lot of the grafting techniques, and may have an opportunity for you to learn.
