My guess is that when the bolt and nut were new that they didn't need anything to hold the nut.  Once they got it started on the bolt they could draw it up against the curved side of the mortise with ...

At first I was thinking a Nicholson workbench, but maybe not with PT lumber.  Then joists for a small shed.  Raised beds wouldn't be a bad idea either.  A hole saw might work.  It wouldn't need to be ...
