Preparing an ice block

Here's a quick time lapse video from my kitchen counter, breaking down a half block that I buy from Lake Boone Ice Company in Hudson, MA. I get 3-4 blocks and keep them in my freezer, pulling them out a half at a time. Each half block fills three freezer bags full of rough cubes, that I can trim and prepare solo or for guests.
