Can a regular freezer do this?...

Can a regular freezer--like the one that's a part of your refrigerator--create a solid block of ice that is one foot cubed?

Obviously we can make little 2-inch regular ice cubes. But something seems like it would go wrong if you tried to make one that was a foot all around. Do they even make ice cube trays that big?

Well, geez. Here's part of the answer: http://home.howstuffworks.com/question205.htm
Do it in layers. Just don't put a big bucket of water in your freezer. Start with a thin layer of water and continually add layers as they freeze.

why would you want to do this?

This thought of one foot icecubes came to me while laying in bed looking at "Islands of the Arctic" sitting on my bookshelf. Now where can one find a container to make this one foot block of ice?

Mmmm ... lemonade!

You could prolly find a container suitable at a restaurant/bar supply store.
