By his own schedule, he has allocated a month of his time per $12,000 funded (to me this is a rate). I'm not saying he should take a pay cut. Just that if this

  He might have misestimated the project scope, so there is still that risk (and perhaps that pads the number?). It's not clear to me what he'd do if it took longer than he thought (return money, finish on his own time, go back to the well for more support)?

    My understanding is that legally he's supposed to return the money if he can't provide the promised benefits, but that Kickstarter don't encourage people to have that understanding because it would damage the intention and culture of the site. There have been a lot of kickstarter projects that failed or delivered late, and I don't it's common at all for any of them to pay money back, despite the legal situation. I doubt that in reality he is bearing any of the risk of failure, except as regards to his reputation.
