Is it possible to make icecream without an icecream maker?

Yep. I've heard this method works well for small amounts.

It does work. My kids did that every year in preschool and kindergarten.

Yes, I've done it before. Make as normal, freeze it, and take it out and give it a good stir every hour or so. It won't be quite as creamy, but it's a mighty fine substitute.

yes check out a website called stonesoup she has a recipe somewhere on her blog or in one for her free recipe books - id look for it and link to it but just about to leave work in 5 min and want to check out more on reddit first :-)

Yes, it's possible, and I see other people have linked to a couple methods. I'd also like to recommend trying a banana-based ice cream. The texture of the frozen bananas is exactly like the texture of ice cream.
Slice a banana, pop it in the freezer for at least a couple hours, then blend with desired sweetener (I like honey) and spices (I like cinnamon) and other fruits, if you want. I usually make this into a milkshake by adding some milk and/or yogurt to thin it out (and I honestly prefer these milkshakes to most actual milkshakes).
You can also dip the frozen banana slices in melted chocolate, then return them to the freezer, and have a great little treat.

Yes, simply put, a smaller (metal) bowl in a larger bowl of crushed ice + salt will achieve cold enough temperatures.

That's quite a philosophical question. I would argue that if one has made ice cream, then one has an ice cream maker.
