Here, we took a 5-volt LG-phone charger and cut the end of the plug. Following the cut, I stripped the first layer rubber around 2 wires. Afterwards, two more wires were exposed which also needed to be spliced. Once the positive and negative copper fibers were exposed, I soldered the two joints with a stripped wire to another join with a single strand to allow for the testing of conductivity and connectivity of the soldered wires. After, shrink wrapping the wires allowed for a smooth finish with no exposed wires except for the ends.
Although there should have been 4 soldered joints with shrink wrapping around the exposed wires, I was running out of time, so only 3 joints were made. Adding flux to the exposed wires definitely made the connectivity of the joints much simpler. Thank you Flux!
Here is a shot of my first ever soldered breadboard. The ugliest soldering joint was obviously my first attempt. Conic shaped, smooth, and brightly silver colored are the preferred indications of correct soldering.
Here is another image with a more clear shot of what happened. Same breadboard, just different angle.
