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.
