Wow, sir, that's a lot of pies!
Agree that pie crusts aren't difficult. The success for my recipe is the amount of oil and most importantly, the amount of stirring/working with the dough you do. Less is more. Overworked dough gets tough.
I will have to try your recipe for pie dough. That's for a top and bottom crust? Interesting that each of these recipes calls just for the shortening to be adjusted.

PS - Your holiday pie-baking became a home-school math problem. Son #2 figured (by rounding your 90-day schedule to 100 days) that you made 10,000 pies a day. Whooo! Next he figured you worked a 10-hour day and how many pies you made per hour. (Okay, that one was too easy. But poor you, you never got a day off, or a lunch break.
