It's hard to remember to put shrink tubing on first.

It may not be very clear, but there is a piece of shrink tubing that is ready to slide down and shrunk.

The plan is the use Gardner Bender Liguid tape, 3 coats, then slide the shrink tubing in place and shrink it.

And also 3 coats over a 4 inch section of the cord where the repairs were made.

What do you think?
Shock:
If it's mains cable don't splice it, replace it. Your splices look really long. Unless length is an issue stagger linesman splices so there is never a possibility of shorting and individually shrink them. The advantage of these splices is they hold up to mechanical strength as well. Then use adhesive lined shrink.

Okay.

I noticed the ground wire is attached to the grinder itself.

Isn't  that supposed to go to the ground on the cable? :-)

If a hot wire were to come loose and touch the metal grinder, then I would be eltro******.

You're making no sense. "the ground wire is attached to the grinder itself", ok fine.

What, the grinder? You just said it was. If not, what's the "that"?

Well, if a hot wire came loose and touched the metal grinder which is also connected to the ground, you'll blow the breaker from the dead short from line to ground.
