I got this B-C sitter and I have been wondering what y'all who restore pipes have found best for removing dents, scratches, or nicks without too much mass removal from the pipe itself? Ideas and pics helpful!

Also the same question for stems. As well better repairs for cracks

I have used steam as well to get out scratches and dents. One has to be careful and allow the pipe to rest but steam can be very effective.
After a good cleaning, stem scratches etc.can be removed with sand paper, files (of differing grit) etc. and holes prepped for epoxy etc. There are a number of interesting YouTube videos and other resources that might be of help, all found by a simple search of the Internet.
