Since my previous post, I wanted to share some photos of my 70-hour build and pack session (over several days) of the Smallest Bike Pump Project x 250 (Featherforged Nanotap) and my mild descent into madness

My usual <1 order per month on etsy turned into x250 in 12 hours and I was not prepared for the usual 4-5 day turn around time.

*In my photos, I have bright green posterboard as my work area. I use this to see the parts better, protect my table, and have interesting build photos.

Very rough timeline:

Unpacking parts and organizing: 2 hours

Polishing handles: 8.5 hours

Piston o-ring, front cap and rear cap install: 2 hours

Piston prep: 4 hours

Part cleanup and magnet install: 12.5 hours

Pin install: 8.5 hours

Body polish: 8 hours

Final polish: 4 hours

Valve rubber punch: 20 min

Install: presta o-ring, cap o-ring, valve: 4.5 hours

Lube and thread lock rear cap: 6.25 hours

Test: 4 hours

Fold manual, packing slip, pack, add label, final pump clean: 8.25 hours

Redbull final count: 400 oz Gas station Jerky: 12 lbs

Conclusion: I was able deliver (mostly) on time and then I camped for 2 days in the colorado mountains to deal with the trauma.

Thanks to everyone that supported my project
