Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating shaved, chipped or crushed ice and/or storing such ice at least temporarily. The apparatus includes a housing with a base adapted for placement on a surface such as a table or counter top. A one piece housing is moldable out of plastic. It includes a floor, a front and back, sides, and a top or ceiling. An opening in the back allows access into a substantially enclosed inner chamber or ice cabinet. Optional aspects of the apparatus include a viewing window, a molded drain pan floor in combination with a drain outlet, peak for elevation of the floor from the surface, a manually operated handle and ice ram for forcing ice blocks or cubes against a motorized ice shaver, and a shape and configuration to simulate an igloo or dome shape.
