I like this idea, and we've got the welder. Nothing like an excuse to
play with it. Otherwise, it's grinder time. Of course I countersunk the
nuts too.
Thanks everyone!

I'm in the Dremel/anglegrinder camp- cut/grind the nut off & drive out
the bolt.

But if I was really reaching for a good excuse to buy a wire-feed mig
welder [or knew someone with one] I might try tack welding a nut on
top of the carriage bolt. Weld inside the nut - don't overheat.
