So I've got an ornamental plum that doesn't really fruit. I've read it can still be used just fine for grafts. Does anyone have good resources on how to get started grafting to do this? I have access to peach, apricot, cherry, apple and nectarine trees as the donor grafts.

First of all: climate. Second: identify your trees Forget about apple, is not compatible with plum. If you buy me a beer I could help you with this.

I don't think an apple root stock would work as its not closely related. Additionally, theres a technique called budding[1] where you just graft individual buds. This has the advantage of maintaining the habit and structural integrity of the root stock. Haven't got any good resources for you though, sorry.

There's a ton of good material about grafting on Youtube. See also the Growing Fruit forum at growingfruit.org
