Oh yeah, this bucket of bolts...
Summary:
At the Rockbell house, Ed, Al, Winry and Grandma Pinako pry open a big crate that was sent from Central, and they discover the remains of Al's armor inside. Ed, Al and Winry reminisce about the days when Al's soul inhabited the armor, and Den runs off with Al's helmet while the people are distracted. The brothers and Winry look around the house for Den and the helmet but can't find either of them, and at this time Al tells Winry that he has a request.
Later in day, the brothers and Winry haul what remains of Al's armor to the local metal factory to be forged into tools. Winry had asked if Al wanted to keep the armor as a memento, but Al said that was no point keeping the armor in a corner and let it collect dust. Instead, Al wants the armor to be remade into tools so that it can be a part of everyone's lives.
Sometime later, Ed returns from the metal factory and hands Grandma Pinko a new sickle made from Al's armor. The steel from the armor has also been into a dumbbell for Al and a drill press for Winry. As Grandma tries out her new sickle, a bird dashes out from the grass and Ed discovers that Al's helmet has been turned into a bird's nest complete with hatchlings.

I thought the FMA manga was over for good and didn't expect any new content for the series, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this gaiden. This is probably the last new manga material that we are going to see for FMA though. This gaiden is short like most of the other FMA gaidens, but it tells a nice little story in the lives of the main characters. I can't say that I ever wondered what happened to Al's metal body after the series ended though. The ending had plenty of more prominent aspects for fans to wonder about, but this is at least interesting trivia for the series.
On a related note, I also watched the FMA:B 4-koma theaters today. Some of the skits were pretty funny, while the one where Scar wears a bra was a bit disturbing lol.
