Does the manifold in the mash tun really have to be copper? Can I make it out of rubber tubing? Or something else?
+1 on the CPVC. Ordinary PVC won't take the temperatures of mashing. No matter what you use I would recommend not soldering the copper or gluing the CPVC. Being able to take everything apart makes cleaning much easier.
And why does everyone seem to build them from scratch? If I could buy a mash tun with the manifold already installed, I would and save myself the hassle of having to build one of dubious quality.

If soldering the joints for copper was stopping you don't let it. A torch and solder are very inexpensive and sweating joints together is very easy. Plus after your done you a have a new toy to play with. Everybody needs a torch.
