Remember that video link on here somewhere showing that guy making a bobsled (seemed he was at an old mill in Maine/VT maybe). He made his shoe bolts out of carriage bolts I thought – heated and reshaped/flattened the head as I recall? Awesome.
Worth a look Brad if you haven’t seen it.
Just to clarify, he does make a sled, and basically ALL of the methods and techniques are applicable, but the sled is not a bobsled. More like a “pung”, or general work/wood sled. The difference is there is not just one bunk, but a series of cross members upon which logs, pulp are stacked. This style sled was very common, as decks and side boards could be attached and then used for a huge variety of farm and forest chores.
