Safest way to solder multiple wires to one point?

What is the safest/best way to solder all of my ground (or power wires) wires to a single point on a board? Use a distribution joint to a single wire, then solder that wire to the board?

You could do that yes but maybe use a board like @Wermy did in his videos. I was thinking of making such a board and put it on OSHPark so it can useful for everyone and is one sided so no worries of shorting anything on the underside.

Good idea! This is where @Wermy talks about using a prototyping board. I found these snappable protoboards on Sparkfun which are pretty neat but expensive, also Banggood has a bunch of options.
