good tips but i have some comments:

1) for electrical connections, a blowtorch is really not the optimal soldering tool because it's so hard to control where the heat goes. a soldering iron allows you to more easily direct the heat away from stuff that melts, such as the wire's jacket. A 50W+ iron w/ a fat tip should work ok.

2) the outer braid connection looks cold-soldered to me.
