Re: removing carrige bolts without a torch
I used a set of vice grips to snap the bolts that were rusty. Grab on the nut, squeeze, work back and forth a few times, the bolt is done. It didn't bend the bed strips— the holes were the original round style (not squared off for a carriage bolt like the ones they sell now) I dollied the holes that were hogged out. This way didn't ruin the wood either.
