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!

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.
