It's going back a fair way to remember now (this post is actually more than four years old!) but IIRC, most of the cutting was done with a hacksaw, with the christmas baubles held in a bench vice between some soft padding. Hell of a job - spheres are not an easy shape to work with, and trimming them to the right size to leave out the grey inset was annoying as anything. I eventually wound up making a half-sphere out of clay to fit inside a half-bauble, just so I'd have something solid I could use to force them to hold their shape while I worked.
The screw connections I think I installed by buying some thinner pipes with screw connections on the end and gluing them in. You can see part of the screw threads here, on the section I made to detach on the chain.
